IMO, in theory, the only way you are going to get 3 RVs to work off the same GFCI is to disconnect the ground wire and allow the 3 RV chassis to float (they will float at about 60 VAC above ground). (BUT then the GFCI may detect this condition and trip accordingly)
This would be a hazard, so don't do it.....just saying. :)
If I understand, you're saying that 3 or 4 RV's protected by one GFCI is not feasible. That may well be the problem. I checked all of the boxes at the site and ours is the only one with a single GFCI breaker for 4 connection points. All the others have 2 HVCI's in the box.
If this is the problem I will have a daunting task, trying to explain to this headstrong owner that it needs to be changed.
