All of the above information is good advice. If you are sure the house circuit is solid, Start by turning ALL the RV breakers off. Plug the trailer in and see if it trips.

As someone said, the water heater is a common cause. BTW, where is the OP?
Nothing seemed to allow the breaker to remain on once the water heater element was fried, If I remember, before I found that I burned up the element, I tried shutting of everything, and was still blowing the breaker. It was explained to me it caused the power to go to ground. As soon as someone suggested the water heater element the light went on, and I realized when I was winterizing forgot to turn the electrical switch off at the water heater when draining it, and the fifth wheel was still plugged into the house. Unwired the element ,and everything was back to normal.
