I am guessing you have the truck camper with 30 amp shore power and no genset.
I would start by checking the connections in the 120 volt AC power distribution panel.
Pay close attention to the neutrals (white wires) in the back of the panel. I would suggest getting some electrical de-ox grease. Disconnect each wire, one at a time, check for brittle or melted insulation. If there is enough slack cut this portion off. Apply a good coat of de-ox grease, and re-terminate.
Check connections on the circuit breakers in the same manner.
Check the shore power connection in the small junction box. Make sure those are clean and tight. Coat connections in de-ox grease. Your cord may go straight to the 120 volt AC panel.
Careful about using the AC and microwave at the same time.
Check the cord body on the shore power cord for any signs of melting or black blades.
