Just as an update... I just came back from a camping trip, and while plugged into the campground power, I truned on the GFI breaker and... it seems to have worked. Nothing tripped a breaker, blew a fuse or caught fire so I assume it is ok.

Not sure what this means other than I may not be able to continue plugging it in to the same outlet I've used for the last 2-3 years.
I do have a hand held meter but not sure how to use it other than testing the volts in my batteries.

Yes, you are at the start of a new problem. Since you're not that conversant with electrical systems, advice about working within the loadcenter may be hazardous but that is where a diagnosis of your issues could start. I'm guessing that you don't own a hand held meter?
