Terry,

When getting power from the campground, a bonded neutral on the coach can
provide an alternative path to ground if there is a fault in the campground
plug. That alternative ground will include the coach body, and one could be
electrocuted standing outside an leaning on the coach.

If a GFCI outlet is tripping, that means current is leaking from hot to
ground instead of going through neutral. That is evidence of a fault right
there. All the current should go back to the campground's bonded ground,
not find a leak somewhere else.
