Joy,
Connecting the neutral to ground in your trailer's panel would be OK
*IF* you were always assured that the receptacle that you plugged into
was wired correctly, along with any and all extersion cords. However, if
something was reversed along the way, the neutral wire coming into the
trailer would be "hot". This is not a big deal if that neutral isn't
grounded, but it's a VERY big deal if it is, your entire trailer is now
"hot". If you haven't yet put down the stabilizer jacks or otherwise
grounded the trailer, you're going to get a very nasty surprise when you
grab that handle alongside the door.
Do you understand now?
