Have you checked your GFCI receptacles.

For the 110-volts outlets there are usually breakers like you have in a house, not fuses like the 12-volt side. Have you located a circuit breaker box? And there may be a GFCI outlet that has opened, check other receptacles and see if they have a reset button. Even though the outlet you have the fan plugged into may not be a GFCI, it may be fed from one.

Are you positive you have 110v in the camper. A quick check, with a volt meter, at the converter would be in order.

Please don't take this the wrong way. But are you sure you have the gfi installed correct.
Are you sure you have 120 votes at the breaker panel in the trailer.

But what I don’t understand is the new gfi in the camper shows it has power because green light is on but you can’t hit the test but then reset it the test button never trips

20 amp is ok. You need to make sure you have the line and load in the correct locations.

There is a chance it was not correct to begin with.
Do you have volt meter? Check for 120 volts on the back of the plug.
