The first thing I would do is plug one of these CIRCUIT TESTERS into the 20AMP Service at your house before plugging your 50AMP shore power cable into the dogbone long adapter.to make sure all three wires to the receptacle are connected and working properly.
What this will do is pin point the problem is either with your house circuit or with the trailer wiring.
You may have a problem with your 120VAC 20AMP Receptacle on your house side. You want to see the two ORANGE LIGHTS com ON on the bottom roll where it says CORRECT... You can pick one of these circuit testers up from LOWES...

IF this is normal then your problem can be the 20A to 50AMP ADAPTER or something in the trailer side electrical wiring.
Like said above turn OFF all the circuit circuit breakers in the power power and turn on the main first then start turning on each circuit breaker to identfy which zone is causing the trip.
