If (and that's a big 'if') all three trailers were made at the same, it could be possible to have a wiring defect (a new trainee on the assembly line) but it would have shown up long before now.

It sounds like the campground was either doing the work themselves, or using a friend/relative. First of, find out who exactly was doing the work and if they are certified to do such work. Second, find out if the contractor (assuming it was a legitimate contractor) has insurance. The burden of proof is upon them, not you. You and the other two owners experienced problems that are a direct result of the contractor's mistakes. If the camp ground balks at helping you, ask for their insurance carrier as well, since they were responsible for hiring the contractor, they too can held accountable. Once they realize you know that, they will probably be happy to help you go after the contractor.

Other tips: be professional. Don't rant and rave and threaten legal action. Present your case and demands, including compensation for any additional expenses such as the technician who came out and inspected your trailer. Be firm but polite. If this fails, follow through on the lawyer. I don't think it will go that far, but you never know.
