Loss of electric power (partial)

DW and I are the proud owners of an '06 Mountaineer 329RL.
While returning from So. Texas last week we lost ac power to the folowing: bathroom plug, ALL plugs to the rear of the entry door on the curb side only, AND the paddle ceiling fan and light.
This happens with 30 or 50 amp hook up. I completely removed the 50 amp cord, inserted 50 t0 30 reducer and plugged in my 30 amp cord, same result, no power.Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Jim and Carla
PS No circuit breakers switched off.

Try resetting the ground fault outlet.

You may have to pull the breaker box out of the cavity and check voltage on the load side of the breakers, as well as the tightness of the neutral wires. Many of mine were really loose from the factory on my '07.

Hi,
We were having a similar problem with losing power just on one side of the trailer. No breakers tripped, fuses all OK, GFI ok. A friend who is an electrician removed the outlet. (main outlet outside) all of the prongs were lose, the screws were there, just not tightened, he tightened them up and have had no problems since. Scarey situation !!!!!
