The folks saying the fault has to be between the GFCI outlet and the breaker box are ignoring that the fault can be in the neutral/ground anywhere in the RV. The fact that the bathroom GFCI is tripping means that I would look downstream from that outlet first for the error. However, it doesn't HAVE to be downstream from that outlet. If moisture got into that outlet (or any outlet protected by that outlet) and shorted between either ground and neutral or ground and hot, that would happen.
Another test would be to remove ALL of the neutral wires from the neutral bus bar in the RV breaker box. If that stops the tripping, put the wires back one at a time, and retest. You will find which neutral is the culprit then you can trace that one to find the problem. Be sure the power is completely disconnected while working in the breaker box.
If turning off all the breakers didn't help, and removing all the neutral wires didn't help, the problem really is between the GFCI outlet and the breaker box.
