Sounds sort of like you've lost one leg of your input power...hard to say for sure without being there. Make sure that the breaker is turned on for the dryer...it should be strapped so both legs turn off if there's a problem, but someone may have removed the strap, or some other weird thing is going on, which is why it's tough to diagnose from remote.

Sounds like you have a bad connection in the main panel, which should be checked by a licensed electrician.

A lot of the older trailers used aluminum wiring, which adds to the problem and the knowledge required to resolve it.
