The solenoid has a ground that's right at the frame next to where it is, and the power (hot lead) runs right into the back of where the cable to plug into city power is about 18 inches away. It is all contained to the one area.
As far as the battery goes this trailer has been parked and plugged into city power for a year now. I'm pretty sure the battery would be deader than dead but just the same I charged it (not that it appeared to even hold a charge) and put it back.
I sent this photo to a guy locally to see if he can repair this for me. If it's too much I may just do it myself. My luck with getting replacement parts so far has been awful though.
In the meantime I agree I can definitely clean up the corrosion and try to get the make/model off of it. Funny thing I hit it with a screw driver and my LP started working again. Solenoid is a solenoid is a solenoid. I here VW bugs used to have a similar problem with theirs.
Thanks everyone!
