GFI outlet tripping for no (??) reason
This is not a RV issue, but I need help. At my stick home I have a GFI outlet connected to 2 other outside outlets and 2 outdoor motion sensing lights. I do not have anything plug into the outdoor ...

there is a reason it trips, finding the reason is another story. Reasons could be
a) GFI gone bad, does happen.
b) neutral/ground short downstream of the GFI
c) leakage current - which is what GFI checks for, sometimes motors have enough leakage current to trip a GFI, also moisture in any downstream connection
And NO they do not make a "less sensitive" GFI. the trip current is set to be below what would usually cause a fatal shock to a person. And it is a very low current level.
