What is the 15A going to? I'm leaning towards electric water heater.

Could be a few things. Is there a GFCI on the house circuit you are plugging into. Sometimes two GFCI's don't play well together. If not look at WH . If you left the electric mode on without being full of water it burned out the element and shorted it.

Thanks for letting us know what solved the problem

Trailer most likely has one GFCI somewhere ( unless very old) As soon as you energize circuit that contains the GFCI it probably trips the house breaker. If the house circuit it is on now does not have a GFCI then odds are that is the real problem.
