Does this 320G have the gray inverter sub panel somewhere?

I've seen some picts of other GD rigs with them.
I can just find Brian's/bertschb's photo at the moment:

The RV's GFCI not resetting without power. I thought mine did that also.
So I read a bit on different ones.

420306 : RECEPT BLACK GFI COOPER SGF15BK 15 AMP SELF TEST W/LT
Eaton(Cooper) SGF15BK https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.SGF15BK.html
Eaton's Installing and testing a GFCI receptacle instruction sheet
(e) Note that this Eaton GFCI is shipped in the Tripped state and cannot be Reset until it is wired correctly and powered from it’s Line terminals.
(g) LINE/LOAD reversal will be indicated by the reset button not staying in after being pressed.
Such LINE/LOAD reversal will also be indicated by failure of the Correct Wiring/Trip Indicator to be on while the GFCI is tripped.
NOTE: If this EATON GFCI has tripped and no longer can be reset, it has reached its “End of Life” and will no longer provide power. Replace with the same model EATON GFCI to
continue to provide ground fault protection.
Leviton - http://blog.leviton.com/gfci-status-indicator-light
• The circuit breaker tripped or there is no power to the circuit and the device cannot be reset.
The Hubbell GFCI I tested at home install sheet reads similar to the Eaton:
The GFCI cannot be reset until it is wired correctly and power is supplied to the device.
...
If the red Light Emitting Diode (LED) begins to flash, or if the GFCI cannot be reset, the receptacle has lost its GFCI protection and should be replaced immediately.
...
LINE/LOAD reversal will be indicated by power remaining OFF at the GFCI Face and by the Reset Button not staying in.- Gene

Gene do you know the location of this sub panel I sure cant find it. I do have solar and a generator. The GFI picture of the GFI GD part looks like the one installed. I appreciate all the help I am getting from everybody.

Only idea on Sub Panel location is what people have posted.
A couple were inside a cabinet near the CB/Fuse Panel.

One sub panel was on a wall near the floor below a shelf.- Gene

Any time you buy a fresh circuit breaker it comes in the tripped state. Perhaps Cooper GFCIs come in tripped due to line/load reversal final testing therefore requiring power to be able to have the reset button stay latched when pushed in.
GFCIs can be confusing. Just before covid hit I was visiting my friend with a Winnebago motor home. He mentioned that he lost power to 1/2 of the motor home outlets. When I questioned him about GFCI he mentioned he had already replaced the GFCI outlet in the bathroom. I asked him if he verified that line and load were wired correctly. He said he put the wires on the same screws as the one he replaced.
I pulled the outlet out, put a meter on the wires and low and behold line and load were reversed. The brand he installed was configured differently from the one the removed and line/load screws were on opposite sides.
I corrected his miss-wire and now everything worked.
He took a picture of me doing the repair in his horribly small bathroom. Here it is.

GFCI wiring
You now need to check at the main distribution center. Until you definitively determine whether or not you have a sub panel, look for a cb marked gfci, check for voltage before the cb.
A picture of you distribution center would help a lot.
