What does the GFCI breaker do?

Just like in a house, the GFCI breaker (part of the rear wall outlet) is wired to cut off the power if it detects a "leakage" to ground - i.e., someone dropped an electrical appliance into water. The way our campers are wired, the breaker in that outlet controls:
--The other outlet mounted in the cabinet near the main side door,
--The exterior outlet on the curb side of the camper, and
--The outlet the fridge is plugged into (visible if you open the exterior access panel behind the fridge). Note this means if you trip the GFCI your fridge will shut off if you had it running on electricity.
