Each city, county and state have different requirements. You need to check with your local building codes department to determine their minimum requirements.
To determine the size electrical service that you need, you need to do a load calculation. The trailer manufacturer has already done this for you.
NEC article 550.11(D) states "Electrical Nameplates. A metal nameplate on the outside adjacent to the feeder assembly entrance shall read:
THIS CONNECTION FOR 120/240-VOLT, 3-POLE, 4-WIRE, 60 HERTZ, ___________ AMPERE SUPPLY
The correct ampere rating shall be marked in the blank space."
Find your electrical panel and go outside to find this nameplate. The minimum ampere rating is marked here.

150 amp service is recommended. This is enough to run everything. Its not expensive . But dont use less or you will have problems. 220 is needed for dryers but that is a 220 receptacle. 150 Amp Fuse in a braker box is all that is necessary for a trailer.

You need a 220 breaker switch. All volts from the pole to your trailer is 220v.

200 amps for 220v connection. Don't forget the secondary ground to your trailer frame (required by many electric co's).
