OK what I see it two panels and each panel have a 50 amp circuit breaker.
Each one of these 50 amp circuit is coming in from the campground when hooked up.

Their is also a larger white wire which is a neutral.

Now what circuit breaker is tripping will direct you to the problem or short.

I do see you have a black wire disconnected from the breaker.
Did you do this? Why?

Hope to hear from you again soon.

I'm guessing that this is the circuit breaker that keeps on tripping.

I would check and see if you have 115 volts from that breaker terminal to the big white wire when it is on.

Then turn that breaker off and just see what doesn't work in your RV.
I mean unplug anything that is plugged into a wall outlet and not working.

Then put the black wire back on the circuit breaker and turn on and see if the breaker trips again or not.


My quick guess would say that the breaker goes to your AC unit or Electric hot water heater element.

Long time ago the electric panel breaker had a cover with label but I lost them.

So if you have 1 ohm from the black wire to the white wire you have something still on. Something must be on. Water heater? Battery charger?

Yep,I'm living in the motohome, the water heater I don't use it because Bakersfield is 98F so it's hot and the switch from the water heater has a light when turned on

I think, it's something that I don't use but I'll know what it's.

Well I would leave the wire off and tape it so it doesn't touch anything and just keep living until in the future you find out what is on that circuit.

You should find out if you keep looking.

Good luck
