Lots of answers for something that is easy to avoid. RVs and household GFCIs do not play well together because most RVs handle grounding differently. This is especially true in motorhomes who generally have their own sources of 120 power (generators and inverters). Your RV is covered by it's own GFCI circuits as well.
So, you either need to create a Service Panel (no GFCI) or, if you only need a few amps, plug it into a non-GFCI circuit in your house. Your garage, by code, is protected by GFCI but your house circuits, except for those around water, are not.
A Service Panel is what campgrounds have, BTW.
