GFCI outlets tripping on travel days

During the past few travel days, both of my GFCI outlets (kitchen for aft and bathroom for forward) have been found to have tripped during transit. At it is intermittent when they trip during transit. I have had my wife standing next to one when I shut shore power to see if it is a electrical transient issue but nothing. I have no inverters installed. So without shore power I have no 120v AC being supplied. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks!

Our GFCI #2 circuit keepings tripping as well. At first I thought it was an overload from the espresso maker and charging a portable battery, but it still triggers unexpectedly with no load. Now, it will not even reset. TIme to research.

I cleaned my shore power connections with some contact cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Now I spray some in the pedestal connection each hookup as well.

On our last trip to central Texas a couple weeks ago, I discovered our island GFCI was tripped after the 6 hour trip. No power to the entire living area (120v). Could not find the issue; I believe it‘s 9 outlets on this circuit along with appliances. I drove into town (30 mins one way) and bought a new GFCI outlet. With the new outlet, power was restored. I slowly added back the appliances and it did not trip. I hooked up the factory GFCI to other power and it did not work. Hmm. A standard home GFCI fit into the box on the island as it was nearly identical dimensions.
