My wife is gonna kill me, please help
Hi all, just bought a used trailer so we r brand new to owning an RV. A 2011 Milan Eclipse to be exact. Anyway, the light-up flame electric fireplace, which is very pleasing to look at, won’t turn on....

Fire place may be "plugged in" to one of the outlet circuits and not hardwired to it's own circuit.
If using a plugin setup it might be possible the plug has worked loose from the outlet. Outlet may be hidden behind the fireplace.
If sharing one of the outlet circuits, check to make sure all the outlets in your RV are supplying power. Some outlets are GFCI protected and GFCI may have tripped removing power from the fireplace. Test/reset all GFCIs.
As others mentioned, there is a possibility that the fireplace is sharing a circuit of another high wattage device like A/C or microwave oven. Some setups have a switch which only allows one high wattage device to be used at a time. Look around for any 120V switch which would not be a normal thing in a RV, typically most items in a RV are 12V and use low voltage switches (not normal 120V home type switches).
