To be honest, I don't entirely understand why RV receptacles aren't required by the NEC to have GFCI protection.
I can think of several reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea.
Your motor home is plugged in to 50 or 30 amp service that has GFCI built in. You leave for the day in your toad and return late that evening to discover that the GFCI tripped shortly after you left, and your rig has been without power all day.
All the food in your refrigerator and/or freezer is now warm.
Your dinner, which was left in a slow cooker, is not only not cooked, but it's probably spoiled.
You left the A/C on because you left your dog/cat(s) in the motor home and rather than being safely cooled all day, they've been locked in an oven.
We wouldn't want our sticks & bricks to be on a master GFCI, we want the option of having some circuits, like to our furnace and our freezers to be on non-gfci circuits. The same logic applies to our mobile homes.
