Gfi outlet

Ok so my gfi outlet tripped today, I had all three heated mattresses plugged in and a radio controlled battery charger plugged in outside, nothing got wet, no fuses look blown or no breakers are tripped, I unplugged everything and it still won't reset... Any other suggestions?

Also noticed all of the gfi outlets don't work? I am assuming the gfi itself is bad. One outlet works near the converter box which is a non gfi outlet.

Try turning each breaker fully off then back on. Sometimes that solves the problem.

More than likely the GFI is defective. They are the most likely of all outlets to quit. The reg outlets downstream are regular outlets fed by the GFCI. Check before shopping, most RV use a shallow style box and outlet and standard shoreside units won't fit. Replacements are inexpensive.
