Low voltage generally oughtn't trip a GFCI breaker. (Note that there could be a difference between oughtn't and doesn't.) I would guess that you have a ground fault or leakage in your new RV—certainly, it would be wise to check it out carefully. There may also be a ground fault in the campground's wiring, possibly caused by moving things around for the recent wiring changes.
It only takes a misplaced ground or neutral connection or a pinched wire or any of a bunch of other problems to cause a ground fault.
(Old-Biscuit — I think it's a 30A connection with a 30A GFCI breaker in the breaker box, if I'm interpreting things properly.)
Yeah..went back and re-read OP where he talked about a standard 30A.
In all the CGs over 7 yrs. FT NEVER ran across any GFCI breakers on power pedestals except for regular 15/20A outlets
Sounds like a dosey of a CG.
OP should still start will elimination (if doesn't have a meter/outlet tester) by tuning ALL RV breakers off then one at a time.....main thru individual to see IF issue is RV or CG
