Regardless of who says what, you have an electrical problem if the GFI trips....Suggest you get it corrected whatever it is.
Correct, the OP is getting some nonsense answers. The storage lot guy is not an electrician and is full of it.
NicoleH, you have a wiring problem and need to fix it before using again. A GFCI has only one reason for existence and that is to save lives, do not ignore this issue.
My trailer came from the factory with a wiring flaw. It would trip a GFCI. The builder drove a staple through a Romex shorting the neutral and ground together. I found it by opening the electrical panel, removed all neutrals, and reinstalled one at a time to isolate the circuit.
If you can't do this yourself get an electrician. This is NOT a job for an RV repair shop because there is no guarantee that they have a clue how to repair or even how a GFCI works. Piece of cake for a real electrician.
