Helpful Expert Reply:
You have a short between a few circuits of your camper wiring. Did you by chance forget to unplug the wiring before removing the camper? I've done similar and it created a bunch of problems. I would recommend going over the wiring looking for cuts or exposed wire near the connectors and fix as needed.
