If the circuit checker show a fault then I would not plug into the receptacle until you get the power connection fixed. Plug the circuit tester into the receptacle and if it reads OK then plug in your extension cord and then check the other end of the extension cord with the circuit checker where your trailer is plugged into the extension cord. Some folks cut off the ground pin of some extension cords for some reason...
The trailer frame ground comes from the house or pedestal connections..
