Hey guys first post on this site and new 5th wheel owner

So last week it rained pretty heavily and a natural spring popped up next to my property, and ended up shorting out my power cord(maybe fried the trailers breaker box I'm still not sure). I realize how stupid it was to let my power cord just sit out like that, it was dumb ill own up to that. So I decided to run the power cord to another hook up, and I'm still not getting power. Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

Trailer specs
2002 Thor Wanderer
Magnetek 6300A Q series
Model 6345 at 45 AMPS
 
I would check the box with a meter and work your way back…
 
Try resetting ALL of your breakers if you haven't done so already. Usually a breaker will protect against a catastrophe like that.
 
Unless your power cord was a real piece of crap, laying in a water puddle shouldn't bother it at all. You likely have some other issue going on. But yes, start with a meter at the pedestal and go from there.
