Mark, first off, welcome to the forums. It seems from your post that you have an enclosed trailer not a factory RV, so you would be starting from scratch, Right?
If so any small sub-panel will do. I would start by looking on line for a local RV surplus or salvage business. I have a list somewhere but I just can't find it right now. They often have distribution panels for cheap that they pulled out of a salvage rig. There are several ways to run the shore power cord to your trailer and a good RV center should have a CAMCO and or Marinco catalogue you can pick out a way of attaching your shore line. When all else fails your local hardware store should be able to get you a small four opening 120VAC breaker panel. I think the hard part is going to be finding a surface mount panel that won't be thicker than the depth of your walls.
Not knowing what the inside of your trailer looks like or where you will mount your panel etc, it's hard to give specifics.
