Why in a brand new building did you put a 15/20 amp gfci outlet in for the camper. A 30 or 50 amp outlet does not need nor is required to be gfci.
The leakage that is tripping the GFCI will become a shock hazard if your ground wire fails and you place yourself between the vehicle frame & the earth. While the leakage may be small enough to not kill you since it only takes 5ma to trip a GFCI, it only takes around 100ma to stop your heart. If your RV trips GFCIs, find the problem & fix it.
