These GFCI generally trip in excess of 5 mA differential. Could be you each are leaking 2 mA.
I would first try turning off all breakers in the RV except the main and the charging system. See if that eliminates something.

Otherwise could prove difficult unless you have the keys to all three RVs.

The 100 watt solar would be an expensive (I don't boondock) way to solve the symptoms or I have 12 volt/15 amp charger which would also solve the symptoms but not eliminate the problem.
