You did check that the breakers were all on?

Assume you checked circuit breakers and possible GFI? I have couple of receptacles not associated with bathrooms/kitchen area but controlled by GFIs. Makes no sense but that is the way it is wired.

Ill check that out, I did reset the breakers but did not check everywhere for others with GFIC's. S&B has outside outlets like that, work off the inside GGFIC's good call, Ill check this out in the am. Thanks

Don't be surprised at anything. When we first got ours all the living area outlets and the refrigerator worked randomly, sometimes yes, sometimes no. I will not go into the whole troubleshooting process, but finally found out they only worked if the ceiling fan was on. Yep, they had wired all those outlets from the ceiling fan switch.

There's usually a junction box under the slides you could just have a wire nut that came loose in there.

Thanks BB Tex, that would not surprise me. Found some "cost cutting techniques" on our new S&B home. Copper is expensive...run as few runs as you can get away with.

thanks all. I traced power and had AC power going into the floor of the slide, so I decided to take the outlets them selves out of the wall and check connections. There are two outlets next to one another and the connecting wires so short I could not get the outlets out of the wall, ended up using brut strength and in the end I did a little rewiring and bought some better outlets to replace the ones it came with, works great now, my guess is that the wiring to the outlets was not making contact.
