Start with the service entrance (breaker) panel and make absolutely
certain that the neutral is NOT bonded to the box. In any 'house'
application, the bonding screw is installed, but it is NEVER installed
in an RV. Do make sure that the GROUND wire is attached and is not
broken between the box and the plug. In theory, your trailer should
never be 'hot' in any way if it's grounded.

However, you do also have a short someplace. Start with your outdoor
outlet, it's most likely to have gotten moisture in it and become
slightly shorted.
