One thing I have seen in RV's (2 of them so far) that have Marinco inlets is screws loose, Check that make it 3 of them so far. Forgot one.
On a friend's RV it turned out to be one lead in the outlet (Cord end) that was not tightened down properly and the wire came out, You wiggled the cord and power was lost on that leg.
On the 5er parked in front of me at a COE park,, all six screws inside the cover were loose.. ALL SIX, the outlet fell off in my hand.
On my RV it was one of the INLET screws.... The dealer could not figure out hot to access them (I got it done though).
I am very fond of saying we RVers often have a few screws loose.. You have just read 3 examples of what I'm talking about.
I also had a bunch loose in the 120 volt power distribution panel, all 3 colors.
