Sounds like just a tripped GFCI Electrical Receptacle inside the trailer.
you need to locate the GFCI Electrical receptacles in your trailer and make sure they are RESET.
They will look something like this
My 5th wheel trailer has three of these inside the trailer. One in the Kitchen sink area, One in the bath room area, and one near the wash up area in the bedroom.
If tripped the push button will be out. Just press in to reset them.
If it trips again as soon as you reset it is seeing a ground fault situation. Make sure where you are plugging in for 120VAC is using ALL THREE PRONGS. Perhaps the garage receptacle is damaged somewhat from poor connection of your extension cord... Should not see any BLACK BURN MARKS from bad connections.
You will need to pick up one of these units (LOWES-WALMART) to test your 120VAC 15AMP receptacle in the garage area.
If these simple checks doesn't find the problem then you may have to have a RV Electrician to look at it.
