A GFCI will by it's function will absolutely not work on a shared neutral. It measures the current on both the hot and neutral and if it senses more than 5ma difference between the 2 it assumes it is leakage and trips. In this case both outlets are sharing a neutral to the coach.
I'm aware. Just stating it is unlikely to work since the GFCI will trip.
IOW, don't waste your money on one.
