The extension cord you have suppling power to your trailer is usually the weak link in delivering power, make it as short and as large as possible with no adapters. when the compressor starts, it pulls roughly 5x it's normal current for a instant, that causes a voltage drop in the wire supplying the power. If it doesn't start in a second, the breaker trips.
With it running, feel the cord and plug for heat, that heat Is the dropped voltage, too much heat equals lower voltage to the unit and higher amps through the breaker.
