One suggestion - get an outlet tester (Home Depot or any good hardware store will have them), it'll tell you if your GFCI is acting up. They do go bad from time to time

Good suggestion. I think when it takes numerous resets, there is an issue with circuit or GCFI. MJ indicated it took numerous resets. Probably time to replace that GCFI.

I had an extension cord go bad once and caused things like tripping the GCFI outlet. It turns out the cover and conductor were nicked by my mower and I did not realize it. When it was dry, no problem. When it rained, things tripped. You might wish to check your cord for damage.

Every 120v outlet in the Pod goes through the GCFI. That includes the fridge and the microwave. Usually when mine trips it's due to an unknown cause but mine did go bad once and I had to replace it while on the road. Not a big deal. TT

GFCIs can go bad. They are also sensitive to anything that causes a differential between the neutral and the ground. So there "may" be an issue that is causing current to flow through ground, or it could just be the GFCI. In our house we had a few GFCI-style circuit breakers in the main panel. Those were sensitive to the kick-back that came from the ballast in the fluorescent lights in the bathrooms. Drove me nuts. I ended up switching those circuit breakers out, and just installing GFCI outlets in the bathrooms. Probably also could have fixed it by replacing the florescent lights with LED, which we did much later.
