See the picture. It looks like it is correctly wired. Notice the breaker is in the off position. Could this pop the GFI breaker?

Shouldn't. Just to confirm this outlet otherwise works?

The outlet works and has never tripped other than when I plug in the camper. It trips every GFI every time.
I thought other's may have experienced this and discovered a cause. I'll dig in deeper and post the resolution if I discover one.

Well gfi's trip when the current going out the black is different than what the white is returning. Since it is otherwise working you have current leaking somewhere in you extension cord/ camper. Could be in a fixture, screw through a wire, etc. I was hoping it was just a breaker box mixup which would have been a quick fix.
Did you use a test light like Stan mentioned on your outlet just to double check?
