Using voltmeter.
Verify power at the receptacle you plugged in to.
If power there, verify power out of your adapter.
If power there, verify power to the RV end of your power cord.
If power there, then problem is in the RV.
This will tell if the problem is outside of or inside of your RV and where to start next.
Best way to approach...systematic. Work your way along the circuit until you find power isn't flowing.
Works for 12v issues also starting at the battery (though you may want to cut power to the charging system to isolate the source to the battery).
A voltmeter is best but if you don't have a voltmeter, you use any small electrical device (assuming you have a suitable adapter). Plug a worklight/fan/etc in and if it works, you have power up to that point...then move to the next point in the circuit.
