If all else fails, try pulling receptacles out of the wall and inspect the connections on the push-in "stabs" on the back of them. There is a plastic cover on the back that pops off. I've found a couple in the past with the wires barely hanging on due to cr@ppy workmanship at the factory. There is a special tool for punching down the wires on the RV type ("SCD") receptacles that is supposed to be used. Each white and black wire needs to be punched down onto the two stabs that are present for the hot and neutral, and same for the ground wires. While in there dong this, you can also check to make sure that none of the wires were installed with the wrong polarity. I've found that before as well.
There is no need to replace the RV type receptacles with a residential type. The problem with these is not punching down the wires correctly. In some cases there could be a splice in a junction box somewhere that has become loose and sometimes a J-box can be hard to find.
