I'm sure somewhere, something is tripped or burnt up. I'm guessing its either gonna be the breaker in the house was barely tripped or my adaptor connecting the 30a TT plug to the extension cord is bad.

I would go to WALMART and pick up one of their RV30A-15A Long DOGBONE type Adapters. They are very inexpensive... between $10-$20 I think...
Like i indicated I have never had any luck with those small round adapters holding up. To much Ac Current going them and no where to dissipate the heat I guess... When mine failed in the middle of the yard my 30A Shore Power cable plug ended up looking like this... Now those were expensive to replace...

You will need a good RV30A-15A Long Adapter to carry with you on trips as well. I also have the RV50A to 30A long adapter to use as well - also at WALMART...
Never know where you may find a 120VAC Receptacle to plug into. We spent an over night at a BASS PRO SHOP parking lot one time and they had 120VAC receptacle there to use... perfect!!!!
On your problem I'm betting you have tripped your house circuit... Its either a 15AMP or 20AMP circuit breaker and your trailer can pull as much as 30AMPS if you turn on the wrong thing hehe... You high wattage items will be your roof Air Conditioner or high wattage Microwave...
