I don't have a trailer, I am a MH guy. Can you tell us what the two breaker are for? I can tell you that one of your problems are the burnt wires that you know about. Is your power cord a heady duty cord? Can you find the wire gauge marking on it? I would not plug your trailer in until all the wires are repaired.
With the light flickering, how are your batteries? Are they charged? Do you have a converter/charger in the trailer? Maybe if you do, you could run a extension cord directly to the converter to keep the battery charged. I hope someone with more trailer knowledge will jump in and help you more than I can.
Just checked the wire and there is no gauge marking on it although it does look to be sizable. The only burnt wires are within the breaker box itself ... all other wiring looks sound. Dad came over to have a bit of a look and cut out all the stuff I needed to replace and he said I had broken connections within the breaker box that were shorting themselves out. This camper has no battery/converter/charger ... just straight lights, outlets and refrigerator from shore power.
