My first guess would be that the hot side and neutral or ground is reversed on the feed into the trailer. The generator wouldn't care but the GFI would see the fault and trip. What happens when you disconnect the fuse's on the fuse box and you plug in from the GFI does it still trip? If not then the problem is in the wireing from the fuse box to the outlets or light. This should be a simple fix, just need to check things with a meeter. If you look at the plug the hole on the right should be your hot side and the one on the left is the neutral or ground along with the single hole on the bottom. This is presuming that they look like this
