Power issues, breaker trips always now?

As a temporary solution can you run a second extension cord for the electric heater? When we are camped where there is only 15 or 20 amp service we run a second extension out the window for the electric heater on a separate circuit.
Even if you are not turning anything on, the converter may be turning on causing the power to trip. Or the breaker heats up and trips.
Is there anyway for someone to show you how to remove the propane tank and have it filled. If the fridge doesn't work on power it may work on propane. Likely the heater element in the fridge needs replacing. Fairly simple process, elements usually cost less then $20.

Good luck.

I could possibly do an extension cord for the heater, possibly, I'd have to plug it in to the same outlet though that the trailer is plugged into, it's the closest option.

It just doesn't make sense to me that it all worked great for awhile then suddenly nothing. I hope it's just the heating element in the fridge - could that be tripping the breaker?

I had someone take a look at my gas tanks once and said they were probably too old/rusty and no one would refill them so I would have to buy new tanks. On my budget I decided the space heater would get me thru the winter instead. I still need to skirt the trailer too... And buy furniture now that I took out the old couch and dinette and sold them to redo my floors. Ripped up the carpet and put down floorboards, it's amazing the difference! But now all the big issues start happening.

What is the converter/what does it do? Why would it randomly come on? I think a guy I used to work with has a little TT, he lives a good hour drive away though but might be worth asking what he knows and can show me possibly.
