What ohm ready am I looking for when I check this...if it's bonded?

Camp grounds are starting to install GFCI outlets in the 30 and 50 amp positions.

I guess you can get rid of them at night OR fix your RV.

I wonder how the GFCI would work with an autoformer

Found my ice maker was causing the GFI to trip. Finally changed GFI to non-Gfi since I kept forgetting to unplug ice maker!

my coach is always plugged into a GFCI protected circuit never had or have a problem.

to change the GFCI plug to a regular outlet is not always the correct thing to do as most GFCI protected circuits are NEC code required for the location of that GFCI protected circuit.

you are better off finding a non required GFCI outlet location and plugging into that circuit

or finding the problem with your coach wiring and correcting it

The ohm reading would be low, probably close to "0" if the connections were tight, as the ground and neutral are connected together and there is continuity.
