Open every duplex outlet and inspect how the wire is connected to the the actual outlet. "Back stabs" (where the wire is pushed into a hold in the back) are notorious for poor/intermittent connection.
There is a slot where you place a small screw driver that will release the spring holing the wire. Trim, bend the wire into a proper hook and attach it to the screw terminal on the side.
The problem here is that those outlets are rare in RV's. more likely the RV has UNIBOX outlets or quick box (Same thing different name)
Where the back comes off the wire is laid down into a metal "V" and punched down. you do not strip the inner wire just the outer insulation (if that) the knife edge of the slot cuts through the insulation and makes a point contact with the wire.. NOT a good solid connection at all NOT good for double digit amps.
Wire properly and I stress PROPERLY tightened under a screw and again I say PROPERLY double digit amps all day and no problem.
