Do you have a battery disconnect switch (for storage) that needs to be reset ?

First have to make sure battery is connected properly. The negative from the battery would go to the cable that is hook up directly to trailer frame. Other lead to positive obviously. If still no power, check underneath trailer near tongue for a mini-breaker and press small black button to re-set if you have. See picture. Also if battery was connected with reverse leads, the converter reverse fuses might be blown. (2 red 40 amps fuses shown in DC panel). Remember not all trailer are the same, these are suggestions.

Follow the power lead from the battery and look for a junction box near the tongue of the camper...should be a in-line 30A fuse or resettable circuit breaker that may need replacing/resetting.

Thanks I'll check those when I get off work. I know the leads are hooked to right spot.

I have the mini breaker, but can't see a reset, also I don't have a fuse coming off of it.

If there is no reset button , it is like a fuse and has most likely"popped"/ gone bad as it is out in the weather. There is no fuse coming out of it. You should be able to use a continuity tester to see if it is good.

Does it have a small black reset button as shown in the last photo that Fonzie posted?
