No power

Set up TV in our 340BH in the main living area yesterday. Everything worked fine. Came back in from Smores last night and no power. Checked fuses and breakers. All appear fine. Everything else on that section is working. Just not the plugs for the TV and DVD player. Any ideas? Hidden relays, hidden GFI somewhere? All help appreciated.

I have a couple close by that say GFI protected but there are no reset buttons on them and they are both working. Is there a button in the panel I could not find one.

We are also without power at outlets in the bunkhouse. Scouring for a test light to check fuses as breakers are all fine. I grabbed the wrong tool box when I rolled. But if anyone in stanton Iowa needs coax repaired I'm your guy this weekend.

Check your outside outlet also. It should be a GFCI and possible they wired some inside outlets from it. Not likely any 120 vac would be on fuses.

Frig light is probably 12v and you just haven't found the GFI yet. We have one in the kitchen, one in the bathroom and another in the basement and then multiple other outlets run thru them.

Check the ac outlet at the rear of fridge, outside under fridge panel. It may be ground fault.

I had much the same problem Some 120V worked and others did not. Found the wiring in the shore cord at the RV plugin had loosened up and not making the proper contact??
