I actually ran into this same problem just this weekend. My buddy has a 20amp GFI plug on his pole and I had to run a 100ft power cord. If I had the main breaker in my Alpine turned off, all was good. When I turned ONLY the converter on, still good (drawing 9A). As soon as I turned on my "general" breaker, the GFI on buddies pole popped. I ended up just using my 2000w gennie and never had another problem. Although, I did away with the 100ft cord. Display with the gennie still showed that I was only drawing 9a with many more breakers turned on. I also tried 2 different cords (both 100ft).
We determined that the 100ft cord was just too long, but I'm not so sure.
PS.... I also tried plugging into his trailer with both 100ft cords, and popped the breaker on his trailer.
Sorry for the hijack.
