Now that we seem to have established the need and purpose for GFCIs, both with and without portable genset connections, why don't we move on to the newest device, Arc Fault Circuit Interruption.
I don't have any of these, but have considered doing some retrofitting both in my home and the RV.

How is an AFCI different from a GFCI?
Although the AFCI and GFCI may look very similar, their purpose is quite different. AFCIs are designed to address the hazards that result from arcing, while GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) are designed to address shock hazards and are intended for the protection of personnel.
