2012 Cougar 1/2 series ?

Just recently had to replace the pig tail on our trailer, it was dragging on the ground and separated during our last trip out. Replaced it with a new one, everything is working as far as brakes and lights go. However now the slideout and awing are not working. Someone suggested that it could be a grounding issue. We have it grounded by the battery, should there be another ground wire somewhere else that we could of missed?
All fuses are good, batteries are good and we are hooked up to shore power at home.

Those 2 items need 12v power and good working batteries. First thing is how do you know the batteries are charged up and at 12v plus power on their own.

As stated, how are you resting the battery? If you are taking a voltage reading with the unit plugged in (either shore power or your truck) then you are reading the voltage being provided to the battery from either the converter or the truck alternator. Remove the battery cables and check the battery voltage. Are any other 12vdc appliances working like the radio, lights, vent fans?

What fuses did you check? The slideout should be on a 12vdc dupply coming from the battery that's connected to a 12vdc circuit breaker. They zre typically located on the frame close to the battery on travel trailers or in the front storage compartment on fifth wheels. Follow the positive wire from the battery and you should find a "leggo looking" box with wires connected to 2 studs. They can corrode and are inexpendive to replace.
