120 not working on some outlets

I have a 1995 Newmar Country Star with 22000 miles.. I am the original owner. My 120 plug for my refrig was not working so I used an extension code to plug it into my outlet outside near the frig. Everything worked ok. So I couldnt find why the plug inside the frig vent wasnt working. So I thought maybe the plug was bad. So I replaced the plug. The plug had 2 power lines connected to it. Now a lot of my 120 plugs wont work including the plug outside I used to initially make the frig work on 120. I have checked the circuit breaker both times when I only had the frig plug not working and then again when most plugs wernt working. Are then any other circuit breakers or fuses for the 120 circuit? Anybody know what might be wrong now? thanks...

    I did replace the one for the frig with a household one. The one that was there was a push on wires plug. As I said after that I have at least 6 plugs now that wont work including one that I used with an extention cord outside next to the frig to make the frig work. Most of the plugs that arent working are in the kitchen near the frig. Sounds like I have the whole circuit out. My circuit breaker in the back of the Rv none of them are tripped..


    Check your GFI. Sounds like it has tripped

  • If you have turned the breakers off and back on, and have verified 120VAC present I would start replacing those cheezy push on rwceptacles with real household ones. Get your VOM out, prove 120vac on the output side of the breakers. Then start taking the receptacles out one at a time and prove 120VAC at the wires.
