Understand that the gear works off the batteries whether or not on shore power--SP just powers the converter that sends juice to batteries...you should/must get the batteries load-tested, bet they are going bad. All of the 12volt items work off the batteries, not shore power.
And usually, the landing gear is wired around the battery-cutoff switch so the legs will still work if the cutoff switch is off.
Get the batteries checked, and charged, if they test ok. If they are ok, then something is wrong with the converter charging function. A tow vehicle will very seldom do much more for charging the batts other than maintaining them while traveling--too little power available from alternator and too small/long a charging wire.
Electrical problems can be very exasperating...
