This is a simplified electrical configuration for the 30AMP TRAILER...

Might give you some ideas on how the typical RV trailer electrical works...
The 120VAC electrical receptacles are prone to being tripped OFF under certain conditions with a tripped GFCI receptacle. You should have one of these whereever you may come in contact with water. They have push button on the face of the receptacle..

Power up again on 120VAC and make sure all of the 120VAC Receptacles are reset by pushing the buttons on the face...
Also realize that all of us like to mod our trailers and there is a big possibility that your older trailer has had some electrical mods done to it...
