When does the trip occur?
My trailer 15a GFCI trips when my Magnum switches from inverter power to shore power, or vice versa. I think when I'm on inverter, ground and neutral are bonded at the inverter, and when on shore power, they're bonded outside the trailer, and that probably "scares" the GFCI
I also have GFI at my home power pedestal, and it does not trip when the inverter switches back to shore power, so I know there's no really ground fault occuring.
