Hi Walt, Yes I have a monitor lamp in my trailer on the power control box which is separate from the breaker box. The lamp will be off if eveything is ok. On when hot and neutral are switched and dim when running off a genset. The power control box just decides whether I am running off the battery or the convertor. No I didn't have any breakers trip. I also have a central GFCI protecting all outlets on the trailer. They did not trip, but then there wasn't anything plugged into them either.

FWIW, I have seen the same monitor lamp on newer (newer than mine)trailers. Some on the outside near the cordset some on the inside.
