If you have a EMS/surge protector you can look at that to determine the amps the trailer is drawing at any time. then turning things on and off will give you a estimate of the load of each. The PD surge protector is a good thing to have anyway.

I don’t think that will tell you what an inverter is drawing. Any ideas?

Hi

The EMS will give you a rough idea about 120V loads. It will not tell you anything about 12V loads. They are different things on different circuits.
