I was having trouble with the generator starting and the lift gate moving. Also a ground problem in several places. I did the same and ground off the rust and polished all the wire ends on a wire wheel and no problems since.
Rust and corrosion are the gremlins of vehicle electrical systems. That is why I suggested tracing all the wires and checking all the connections.
We really do enjoy our camping but sometimes that is not conducive to rust prevention. The rig is out in the elements and if you happen to camp on or near the beach, live in a coastal area or live where road salt is used then you will have rust problems.
This causes electrical problems as well as others such as the other thread here where the brake line ruptured on a Toyota Pickup. Probably rust. Truck lives where the roads are salted.
Checking all the connections is the least expensive step as this can be done by the owner. It just takes time and determination. Hopefully the OP will report back here with the results of the investigation.
