Default Shore Power Question

We have a 2004 2720SL that we purchased in August of this year. I just registered and will become a site sponsor shortly. I don't have any experience with forums, so I will be learning as I go. I hope to be able to post this question to begin our learning process.

To have power to the trailer while in the driveway, I ran a separate line from the Breaker box, using a 30 amp breaker and underground #12 wire to a waterproof outlet box with a duplex GFI (20 amp) outlet. All was fine until recently we noticed that the lights were dim and when I checked I found the GFI had tripped. It would not reset, so I ran a power cord from an inside outlet and everything worked fine. I then bought a new 20 amp GFI but when I replaced it, it again tripped. Again, with the power cord from an inside outlet, all worked well. I then plugged the power cord in a GFI kitchen outlet, and it tripped. Went to a standard outlet, and all works well (no tripping of any circuit breakers).
I currently have the power cord attached in order to charge the battery, and will disconnect it once the battery is charged.
Can anyone tell me what may be going on and what I should do to check it out further and repair the problem? We are going on a trip to Key West in January and want to make sure all will be OK.
Thanks, Serge
