Outlet/GFCI Issue

Appreciate all the help. Since my RV is in storage without the ability to hook up to shore power, I will have to wait to replace the GFCI. I will double check the outlet inside the storage bay and the outside outlet (it has a cover). I guess I could also go get the percolator and bring it back to the house to check it out on a GFCI outlet here; however, I have also used the crockpot and rice cooker. The results were the same. Sometimes it continues working for many days in a row without a problem and then the next time I will try to use it, the GFCI has popped.

I wouldn't wait for checking the GFCI or the percolator, just replace the device. These devices seem to have a finite life if tripped. Tripping the receptacle's safety feature more than just a few times is usually cause for demise. If this was the original GFCI, there would be the additional concern about the quality, our friends, the RV makers, are not about quality.
