Not trying to be flippant here - but obviously using a circuit without a GFCI installed means: no GFCI will pop. Does an RV usually have a GFCI built in?
Anyway, I will pursue getting a 30 amp circuit installed at home...
Thanks again

Ground and neutral are normally bonded at the "source". They are bonded at the main panel in your home. If bonded at the "load" (your RV) then the GFCI in your home may see different current on the neutral leg than the hot leg because some current may return on the ground leg. This is what trips the GFCI.
You do have at least one GFCI circuit in your RV as well, certainly in the bathroom, maybe near the kitchen sink, outdoor receptacle, and fridge.
