Question 2023 3793rd

Having an issue with the 120 VAC electrical in my 2023 3793RD. There are 4 outlets in the bedroom that are dead. They are the TV, bedside outlets, and the outlet next to the dresser at floor level. There are no tripped breakers and all GFCI outlets are working normally. The inverter outlet in the bedroom works fine and the washer and dryer outlets work as well. Does anyone know where the junction, box that feeds these outlets is?

To start, I would turn off AC power to the rig and pull each outlet that isn't working to make sure all the connections behind it are tight. You might get lucky and find the source one that is disconnected. If all are good, then you have to start guessing where the closest one might be that is the next one up stream that is the source, and that one will probably be where you will find the problem.

I'm surprised that the TV outlet isn't inverted.

The living room TV is, the bedroom is not.

Problem found!

The issue was a bad connection in the outlet behind the coffee bar. Simply a result of using the cheapest components possible. 3 romex connections to the same outlet. Added wire nuts and a pigtail to the outlet and problem was solved. Also found out that there are no less than 8 outlets running off the same 15 AMP circuit breaker!
