You mean "converter" not "inverter"
The converter gets 120v as input. You say the receptacles work, so first make sure the receptacle the converter is plugged into works too.
If not check the circuit breaker for that receptacle. It may be popped but not show it is. Snap back and forth.
The receptacles are often on a string with GFCI which usually goes when one of them gets wet. Like when you wash the RV and the outside receptacles get wet.
The converter has a 125v glass fuse inside it where its 120v cord comes it. You would have to take a few things apart to get at that.
On the 12v side, there are the two or so 30a (usually) fuses for 'reverse polarity' that could have blown. These may be on the converter itself or over on the DC fuse panel, don't know with that WFCO which it is.
Your RV may have a "battery disconnect switch" that may be open and not noticed. Easy with a push-pull type to happen.
Near the battery on the positive wire there will be a "battery fuse" or instead a DC circuit breaker. If it is a breaker it may have a little black reset button.
