Byron,
I was speaking in general terms, not necessarily on a trailer. However, the advice still holds; my experience with GFI breakers over the past 25 years is that they trip falsely now and then. That
is a real problem if your fridge is on that circuit. You don't put them on a washing machine because their normal operation leads to minor electrical leakage that would cause false tripping.

Maybe the new ones are better, or perhaps your Bambi has only one breaker?
