Question 1990 Bigfoot M series trailer, no power since....

Hubby was fixing the water heater in the trailer when the wiring arced, (he told me the reason, just don't remember it exactly) and now there is no power to the entire trailer.

This is a 1990 Bigfoot trailer, M Series (I think) maybe 17 feet long, can't read the tag any longer, not our trailer, fixing it for employer.

Any ideas as to where it may have flipped a breaker, or could it be the inverter? Is there someone on the internet that we can get a wiring diagram for it? I only have the VIN number for it.

Thanks but he had to keep tracking the problem down, turns out it was a blown fuse, and something else. After it didn't work, he started at square one, turns out the ground wire was worn out as well, not sure how it was working before the fuse blew, but he fixed the worn ground, and now, has power and heat. All he wanted to do was replace the sink faucet LOL
