GFCI tripping

I have a strange situation - there is a 20A GFCI outlet on my front porch.  I can plug string lights into it with no problem, and the first couple years we lived there we could plug our 19' camper in to cool the fridge and get it ready for a weekend.  

Lately, when we plug the camper in the outlet trips immediately - I can still use it for the string lights though.

I was thinking it was the camper, but the camper never trips any other outlets, just that one.

Anyone have any thoughts on it?  I'm planning on replacing the outlet after work.

GFCIs can break down and malfunction so replacement would be your easiest option.

Not a electrician so cant give you further options.
