There almost has too be two issues here.
I agree, the campground pedestal was probably mis-wired or had an open neutral. This would fry some things.
However, since your RV was tripping the GFCI at your home BEFORE this trip then I suspect you also have a ground fault in the RV. You should have investigated the problem then, at home.
It's possible that the combination of an RV ground fault and a mis-wired pedestal caused more home than it otherwise would have.
Good point I didn’t pick up on that I thought it only was a problem after the power issues. Most certainly if the OP’s rig was tripping the GCFI outlet before the problem that would mean the rig had a wiring problem. That would have exacerbated any pedestal or campground issues.
