I'm sorry but this isn't accurate. You can daisy chain a dozen GFCI's and they wont trip. So yes, you can plug a trailer into a GFCI - or should be able to if all is right.
The problem is you have a ground fault someplace - ground is touching hot. The most common causes are the heater element in your fridge, which can work fine but has contacted chassis ground (repl it). Other causes are the water heater or a wet external outlet.
You can isolate it by unplugging each item one at a time and trying the GFCI again.
You want to fix this because it can be a very dangerous condition.

Wouldn't turning off the breakers in the trailer turn off the appliances?
