No power while plugged in
My grey wolf 26dbh is not pulling power while plugged into 15amp, no lights come on. I only get power when the trailer is connected to my truck (12v). When I have my power cord plugged into an extension cord along with a 30amp dog bone to 15amp I get the blue light on the cover where I connect the power cord to the trailer but the blue light at the end of the power cord that’s connected to the dog bone shows blue and a red light. I don’t know what’s wrong.

The red light is a fault indicator. First thing I would check is the outlet for possible bad ground or reversed polarity.

Whatever device in on the shore power side of your cord is telling you there is a problem with the Shore power. Get a multimeter and figure out what it is.

Sounds like the old......
“I’m guessing you’re plugging into a 15 amp GFCI outlet from the house, and it’s fighting with the GFCI circuits in the rig, so I trip” scenario.

Very possible scenario however it the house GFI was tripped there would be no red light.

You say that you don't get any lights when plugged in to shore power, but you get them when plugged into the truck.
When plugged in to shore power do any of the 120 volt receptacles or appliances (i.e. microwave, etc.) work?
Have you checked the battery disconnect switch to see if it's open?

Sounds like a couple of things at once.
Purely a guess but if your battery is dead or disconnected AND your shore power is defective- it would act like you say.
Plugging into the truck gives you 12v DC for the lights.

We need to know what is on the shore power end with the red light on it.

You should have 12 lights when plugged into nothing. Your battery should provide power. Do you have a battery disconnect turn off? Is battery dead?

Your lights should work they are DC.
If battery is dead they won't. If the 120vAC to 12v DC converter is switched off. Fuse blown it won't provide DC power to lights and neither will it be recharging the batteries.
On the red light...
You either have a bad wire extension cord or plug using for power has wiring issue or is on a GFCI plug. GFCI do not play well together. Try another non GFCI plug in the house. Not an outside plug, not one kitchen or in bathroom as there are most surely GFCI.
See if this gives all blue lights and no red. If red try a different extension cord or dogbone.
