Retrieved the trailer from storage and brought it home to load. No cold air!! It worked the last time out six weeks ago. Ideas? Where do I start?

Actually it blow cold for a couple moments. I heard the compressor kick in.

I should also say that when the compressor kicked it acting like the power was dragging. The fan bogged down then picked up. It was plugged into a 20A circuit and did trip the breaker shortly after. I moved to a circuit which could handle the load.

It sounds like a low voltage start. I would check the voltage on the trailer end of the circuit before trying it again. Make sure your power cord is adequately sized for the length of the run.

When the high side is still under pressure and it wants to kick in the amps will be very high and will kick the breaker of 20 amps. Many will assume there's something wrong with the compressor. This happens when setting the TH on and off to cool. Just leave the TH on cool and the system will do the rest. Or when it happens, let the fan run on high for awhile.

could also be a bad capacitor
