Why does a residential fridge trip my GFCI?

When you lose half your power in an RV with 50-amp shore power, suspect a lost leg.

I have a 2018 Coachmen Leprechaun 311FS c-class motorhome that came with Conntek 30 amp power cord. It's a black cord with the yellow twist lock end. When it's attached and the power is on, the little red light illuminates showing power. But, that red light is no longer glowing. The only thing that I can think of is that I started the engine while still hooked up to the shore power. Everything that I have read claims that it doesn't hurt to do that.
The other strange thing is that the small red light in my Camco dog bone (30a to 15a) adapter doesn't glow either but the RV is getting power.
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
