Will GFCI work with items without equipment ground
I know it's probably a dumb question but my wife's hair dryer is old and has no equipment ground. Wanted to be sure she is still protected if it should be dropped into water or otherwise shorted.

Can you imagine having your whole house protected by one 5 mA GFCI.
Why do we think a single 5mA GFCI is going to cope with an entire RV sub system. Just saying.
Because it WILL.
It is common practice to use a single GFI in buildings to feed/protect multiple outlets, even in different rooms, sometimes on different sides of the house.
I absolutely HATE having it wired that way.
It is a royal pain to have to search out the tripped GFI when it is in the other end of the house......or in the garage.
