I am assuming you mean 120 vac 15 amp breaker, not 15 watt breaker. And that each RV has a separate circuit breaker.
If you truly have a GFCI circuit breaker (rather than GFCI outlet/receptacle) then it could be tripping on current overload (greater than 15 amps) or a ground fault, meaning you have a fault somewhere in your wiring or in one of your 120 vac appliances plugged in to your RV.
I would not expect a ground fault as that should trip as soon as you plug in, unless the fault is in something only powered up occasionally.
I would guess you are running very close to 15 amps draw on the breaker and over time it finally heats up enough to trip. Especially if the breakers are old. Bad wiring at the breaker can also cause extra heating of the breaker.
