only if the house circuit is on a GFI. and in most houses GFI is on outside circuits, bathroom circuits, and kitchen circuits. a garage circuit usually is not on a GFI, so make sure you plug into a GFI Circuit.
All house circuits are on breakers, If there is a short in the trailer it will pop the breaker.
we know where the GFIs are required.
from the OP, an OVERLOAD is NOT the problem. He does NOT have a short. he does NOT trip breakers elswhere. His problem is leakage current. A house breaker that is NOT GFI will NOT help him trace down the problem.
