GFI
When I plug into shore power, the GFI trips at the house. Have tried two different outlets and the same happens. Any help appreciated.

A GFCI tripping means there is s fault in the 120 vac system somewhere. The GFCI measures the current flowing thru the hot pin, compares it to the current flowing thru the neutral pin, and if there more than around 5 milliamperes difference it will trip. Generally it means there is a short between a neutral wire and ground somewhere. It can happen with a fault on a hot wire also, but that will usually result in a tripped breaker.
You can turn off all AC circuit breakers in your RV, plug back into the outlet and see if it trips. If yes, you have a problem before your distribution panel. First place I would look would be the power cord.
If it does not trip when you plug in, trip turn on the main breaker. If the GFCI does not trip then turn on the other breakers one by one until it does trip. When it does trip then you will need to determine what is powered by that breaker.
