Half of my outlets not working

Have you checked the ground fault breakers on one of the outlets? Usually in the kitchen or bathroom. Don't forget the breakers in the electrical center.

Yeah, I tried both of those. Could it possible be fuses? They are on opposite sides of the camper though.

No, the fuses are just for the 12 volt system. You may have a faulty breaker or a loose connection at a breaker, or at one of the outlets. I would pull each outlet out, check for power and/or loose connections.

No, it wouldn't be fuses. Your outlets are 120 volts and protected by circuit breakers.

Did you reset your ground fault receptacle ?

1. Hopefully you know that when a breaker trips it doesn't go all the way off. If not go back to the breakers and make sure to turn each one off, (completely) and then back on and then see if those outlets are not hot again.

2. If you are still in the same boat test every one of the breakers as follows: with the breaker turned on, put one lead of a test meter on the lug of the breaker that has the black wire on it and at the same time put the other lead of the meter on the neutral bus, (the silver bar with the white wires) - You should get a 120 volts. If not, you have a defective breaker and it needs to be replaced.

3. If all your breakers test good, you either have a broken/lose wire/bad receptacle on one of them or in between, and you need to do a bunch more trouble shooting. If you can't do it yourself, it is time to call an electrician

I have the same problem. Please come back to the forum once you find the source of your problem and it has been repaired.

Most often it is a GFCI outlet that is tripped. Check all outlets and reset all the GFCI circuits...

Most common is the gfci.If that's not tripped find the first plug not working chances are its a bad plug

Do you have an outside GFCI outlet? Could be the inside outlets are daisy chained from an outside GFCI outlet.

Check all your circuit breakers. A tripped breaker is not visually obvious. It does not flip to the OFF position when tripped, just moves a little off of the ON position. Press on the breaker handles and if one feels "soft" then it is probably tripped. Turn it off and back on to reset it.

If you have a 50 amp trailer, then it could be that the 50 amp service is missing one hot leg. If you are comfortable checking electricity, then you could pull the cover from the breaker panel and see if the main 50 amp breaker has power to both hot legs.

Trip the GFCI receptacles then push reset. If it will not reset, you do not have power to it. That indeed could be a partially tripped circuit breaker. Turn off all circuit breakers applying light pressure to the off position. Then turn on main breaker if equipped, followed by branch breakers one a time.
Do you have a large inverter? Have you checked it for a tripped breaker? Some have a small red or white button used for resetting.
