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-mainly the lack of a completed uninterrupted ground circuit in the wiring that does not allow it to function correctly. The engineers at Camco have determined that it needs the uninterrupted flow that a GFI outlet cannot provide.
