The sensor circuitry in the downstream RV GFI (even without anything plugged into it) is causing the pedestal GFI to think it (the pedestal GFI) is sensing a ground fault leakage in what is plugged into it (in this case the RV with it’s own GFI circuitry), and it is instant trip.
What to do if your GFCI outlet is not working?
Using your ohmmeter, check to see whether there is continuity between your GFCI outlet’s ground and the white and black wires. If you get continuity from disconnecting the white and black wires, then the problem could be that the white and black wires are touching with the bare ground.
