Check the battery voltage, plug in the RV and if it goes up the charger is at least partially working. Follow the heavy battery wires to the charger and research the model - if it exists. If the charger has AC output wiring then you have a charger/inverter. Turn on the inverter and if you have 120V AC output it's working. This all assumes you have batteries and they are OK.

Highly recommend you post on a HR board for help and you might even find wiring diagrams.

Almost any RV manual is just a collection of the manuals that the appliance manufacturers put out and any other information is just about useless.
For that year RV I suspect you have a converter and not an inverter unless the previous owner changed it out. That is how most RV's of that time were supplied.

We have a longtime member, Chris Bryant, now retired from his RV service business, who has generously provided a link to many manuals, both RV's themselves and appliances used in RV's, on his company website. You can check out the various categories on his site
here.

You would probably be best served by looking up the model numbers of the various items in your trailer and then searching for the manual for each item.
Good luck. :)
