If the GFI outlet senses current through the ground terminal it will trip.
Incorrect! The GFCI outlet monitors current between hot and neutral. If more is going out on the hot than is coming back on the neutral it assume the current is flowing through something (someone) else and trips.
With a cheater type setup it is possible for current from the 15a plug to return on the 30a neutral which is what causes the trip. Has nothing to do with the ground plug.
Seriously, what is big deal about "surviving" on 30 amps? maybe you need to find a different CG?
Sounds great, BUT my wife likes to fish here better then anywhere else, They only offer 30 amp service on a very good day.
What's a hubby to do ??
