After reading all the posts here, this is what I recommend.--
Hire an electrician to replace the 30 amp GFCI breaker in the house panel with a standard single pole 30 amp breaker. Several things in RVs can unnecessarily trip GFCI main circuits.
Check that the 30 amp receptacle is wired properly with 120 volts and correct polarity. With the receptacle mounted with the ground terminal at the 12 o'clock position, the flat blade terminal at the 7 o'clock position should be the "hot" wire and the flat terminal at the 5 o'clock position should be the "neutral" wire.
Then, turn all breakers off in the RV and plug in the shoreline cord and turn on power to it in the main house panel. Check for proper polarity in the RV panel to ensure the shoreline cord is wired properly. When all this is done, turn all RV panel breakers on and enjoy the electricity!
