You probably drawing to many amps too, shorten up them extension cords or unplug some stuff

Unplug everything, then start plugging things in one at a time until you find what has a leakage to ground. That will be the culprit

It's supposed to run 5500 watts. Same extension cords have never had trouble before. I had a fridge and 1 space heater plugged in. It was drawing 1700 watts when it kicked off

Don't forget, you need to turn it off for at least 60 seconds..

Go ahead and get in 65 degree dog house. That is where you will end up!

Any ideas?
If it were me I would run it without a load first and then slowly add to it.
Sounds like your Gfci keeps tripping but it’s probably not the water or snow if it’s in a shed
So either the load your putting on it is too big or your supply lines aren’t sufficient.
So either your extension Chords or too small of the load or you have it extended to far.
I would try a small simple load first like a fan or a charger and then slowly add

Wife decides she wants the dog moved inside from his 65 degree heated dog house.. So I go back outside and unplug extension cord get the dog. Move cords around in the house to go thru another door because wife wanted that too.
I run my extension cords through the dryer vent to prevent having to open and close doors. If your dog is an outside dog and was set up in a warm, dry, and comfortable place I would have left them alone. Let sleeping dogs lie.

Ended up the gfci had flipped. Best guess is snow got in the plugs while I was dragging them around, We got 9.5 inches Monday.
If this was the OT I would make a smart arse comment but I will take the high road here.
