Trailer stolled charging while towing

At the beginning of our last trip the trailer battery indicator showed charging she. I was plugged into the truck and now it doesn't. I check the trucks plug with a test light and the 12v power pin on the upper right shows that its getting power. Where should i start checking on the trailer to find the problem?

Oh and its a 2006 Dutchman victory lane 26srv
Thanks

    I checked the truck end. Should the trailer side read voltage?
    If it's connected to the battery it should.

    I found that cab thing and it has 12 volts at both ends and the only fuse I could find in the battery compartment is 7.5v and is good. Any other possibilities?

    Follow positive cable from trailer battery and look for a auto reset CB


    Check for 12V on each stud......some are auto reset, some have small reset button on side

    That indicator doesn't mean much. The best thing to do is connect a volt meter to the trailer battery and then start the truck. The voltage should rise to nearly that of the trucks battery.
