OK I'm going bonkers trying to solve this.
1. House breaker breaks when you turn on any breaker in the trailer, turning them all off before connecting to house and then turning on one.

3. Have checked for mouse damage. Evidence behind panel of mice, but no damage to wires seen. Everything looks good.
4. Something's open, but where? And if there's a short in the supply line, why does it not trip the house breaker until you turn on something in the trailer?
