Bedroom outlets
I have a Pacearrow 37C. The outlets in my bedroom have all dropped down to 45 volts and I don’t understand why. I tried resetting the GFCI in the bathroom, like I have read on some other forums, but that don’t help.

I'm not sure this will be the case in your situation or resolve your problem. But on most RVs the use the backstab jacks on the back of the outlet instead of anchored down by screws. Loose electrical wires can cause electrical fires, interruption in power as well as damage to the outlet with melted or singed parts due to increased heat.
As you can imagine in an RV the bouncing and moving may cause issues. After having issues with mine I went through the whole RV and changed from backstab to proper screwed anchor wiring.
Good idea My elec did exactly that at my house.
Maybe I should invite him to go fishing with me. I will drive him using the MH and tell him he needs a rod, reel , lures and electrical tools .- Get one of https:

- Replace the GFCI temporarily and test again IMO.
