Easy solution don't blue into a gfi outlet. Lots of neutral to ground connections in the GMC as they should be.
Neutral and ground are bonded in the breaker box.

No! That is a potentially dangerous misconception - and one I had until recently. RV wiring is different because there is no permanent connection to the earth (ground).

Here is one explanation.

To be clear, in my coach, the only neutral/ground connection is in the generator, which is fine when the generator is the source of AC, but it's not okay when plugged into shore power an auto-transfer switch, or GMC's original manual system takes care of that, coachmen's did not.
