Sounds like a possible GFI reset

Did you check to see if you have an outside GFCI outlet? Could be linked to inside outlets.
How did you check the breakers? It is not always immediately obvious a breaker is tripped just by looking. When a breaker trips, it does not flip to the OFF side. It just moves slightly off of the ON side. Must be turned off and back on to reset it.

From outside, follow the electric line coming through the slide floor going to the trailer. Some have a junction box others do not. All of the wires move when the slide moves and can get pinched/broken etc.

Since your problem outlets are in the slide-out this gets my vote. Has already happened to many members.

Make sure the shore power plug has not come loose from the unit. That happened to me once.

There is also the possibility that a critter may have chewed through a wire under the slide which might be why your receptacles (not plugs  ) are not working. It's going to take a little detective work with a volt meter and some crawling around to find the problem. It also could just be a loose connection, maybe behind one of the receptacles that has lost power. Good luck.

The first thing I would do would be flip the breakers off then back on. If that does not fix it I would look at the junction box under the slide.
