Very interesting. Do you have an electric heating element in your water heater? If so, could it possibly be on?
Obviously, there is a parasitic load in the trailer we are overlooking. Do you by chance have access to an "Amp Clamp". This is an inductive amp meter that just clamps around one of the two wires supplying power to the camper.
Also, the link you provided for the schematic doesn't work for us. Please try again.
The only possible thing I can think of is the neutral and hot may be swapped somewhere.
Perhaps isolating the ground *** for troubleshooting purposes only *** would be worth trying.
Check the neutral/hot voltages at the generator connector to make sure it is wired correctly. Connect an ohmmeter to the camper's power cord to see if there is continuity between neutral and ground. There should not be, but maybe someone bonded them in the camper's power panel.
