Turn all of the breakers in the camper off exept the main one. See if it still trips. If it stays on turn on one breaker at time until it goes off. This should narrow it down. If it trips with the breakers off it could be an issue with the supply.

See if you can borrow another 50/30 cable. If that fails then it sound like a trip to the dealer.

If you have used the 50/30 dog bone before without problems, I would check the connections inside the junction box where the shore power cord connects to the RV romex. Make sure the RV is unplugged! The jct box should be behind a panel inside the RV adjacent to where ever your shore power cord mouse hole or plug is. We found a loose neutral in the box. You might also search the forum - have read of others who found loose/burnt wires inside the plug itself. Be careful

Well took the 5 th into the dealer and it ended up being the main power wire from the main box to the outside connection , there was extra wire and it had looped out between the frame and the body of the trailer and with me towing it , it had finally worn thru and was shorting out on the frame!
