The lights pull so few amps that the pack thinks the phone stopped taking a charge.Most 120V to USB charging bricks are continuous voltage at 5V.

For a 6' LED light strip, I'd power it with the trailer's 12V system. Should be almost unlimited reserve power for a small LED strip and you won't need anything else in the circuit except a fuse and a switch.
