The Power Grip RV Power Maximizer - 50 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male and 30 Amp Male # CAM55025 is not compatible with a GFI because of the function of the outlet. I reached out to my contact at Camco and they said lack of a completed uninterrupted ground circuit in the wiring will not allow it to function correctly. Their engineers have determined that it needs the uninterrupted flow that a GFI outlet cannot provide even when it is working properly.
