I have pulled the entire panel out and all of the wires into the bar are tight. I actually haven't checked the outlets to see if they'd work but the rearmost outlets never worked.

In regards to drilling, yes I installed LED tail lights on it and needed to drill new holes. Part of me was thinking of this as well. I guess I'll pull those off and take a peak/test it again.

Figure out what is on that non working circuit. Does fridge work on AC power?

If your air conditioner, converter, fridge, and microwave are working, all that is left are outlets. Either the wiring is compromised, one of the outlets is shorted, or something plugged into one of the outlets is shorted.

Well my Fridge never worked - it was disconnected by previous owner because "it stopped working and would cost $800 to fix". All I've found out about that is the melted plug in the rear compartment of the fridge, and a bare wire (household 120 style) hanging around not connected to anything. Then the wires that used to be connected to the outlet are twisted and capped together.

I had always assumed this was the reason the rear outlets never worked. The Fridge does light up and do a check after checking it just stays on the "CHECK" light. As is now, it will light up and go to Check as well.

Nothing is plugged into the outlets.

My next thought as you said is something is compromising the outlets or wiring. I'm going to pull them out tonight and see if I can't find anything along with removing my trailer tail lights as well.
