A loose wire in an outlet upstream of those that aren't working. Requires identifying the suspect outlet....pulling it and checking the wires for proper connections.
RV outlets are cheap design.....they use a split-prong that the wires clip/push into vs hardwired/screwed or even a good push contact like residential outlets.
They wire the outlets in a daisy chain string..if wire works loose (easy to do) then all outlets downstream stop working.
