Thanks in advance for any assistance. I have a 2010 Coachmen travel trailer, and since I got it there are 3 power outlets that don't work. The two near the floor in the main bedroom, and the one next to the bed near the floor in the other bedroom. All of the ones near the floor don't work, while the others on walls and cabinets do, which I'm not sure means anything, but it's worth mentioning. Is there any advice you can give as to where I should be begin with this? Thanks.

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.

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.

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 electricianJack L
