GFCI- Problem or not?

At the last campground I was at, I could not get my power on. Here is the situation. I plugged in to the 30 amp campground power pole and as soon as my Surge Guard turned on the GFCI at the post tripped. I started my diagnosis from there. I changed to different cords, I hooked up to different campground site poles, I shut off all the breakers in the coach so no power was being drawn past the surge guard ( hardwired), nothing worked. I started my generator (Honda 3000is) and plugged in and all worked. I am now in a different campground and have no problem. I assume that the current site is GFCI protected on the 30 amp plug. Do I have a problem, or should I write it off to a campground problem?

Sounds like a campground problem to me, especially since all is working now.

It sounds like your problem was at the power post to me also. I use a Progressive portable EMS. When I arrive at a cg the first thing I do is to plug the Progressive EMS into the outlet and let the EMS check for any problems with the power. If everything is OK I will then plug the trailer’s cord into the EMS. Just the way I like to do it,

Camp ground power issue I suspect.
Mine was doing that last year . turned out to be low power. 105 volts. I had to run with out the surge protector..I ran on propane that weekend..well accept for lights and TV.
I did not trust the low power to run fridge, A.C or water heater thank goodness it was cool at night.

X2. If you wanted to verify the post and you have a meter, check it with that. I have a polarity LED device that I check the 20A with before I plug in the 50A cord. I would trust your Progressive.

I know this is an old post of mine from over a year ago, but I have some relevant information now. I thought I had a problem in my coach. Here is what it is —— The Surge Guard 34560 hardwired protector trips the GFCI……. Not a problem in the coach. I talked to technical support and they said that this is a known “feature” and to “jumper around” the unit if it is a problem! Huh? There is NO solution. It just works that way. 

I have only had a problem in 1 campground where the 30A plug was GFCI protected and of course any garage plug where I might be visiting for a short time. Garage and exterior plugs are, by code, to be protected this way.
