You probably have another GFCI under the overhead cabinets usually around where you would plug in a coffee pot or a hot plate. I also have another GFCI in a compartment where you plug in the engine heater. One in the bathroom next to the lavatory.

But if the outlets are 120 volt, do not look for blown fuses. Those should have circuit breakers. Only thing with fuses are your 12 volt system.

You should have a circuit breaker box somewhere inside the coach, usually around the bed box.

Look for a breaker on your inverter/charger. Some 120 volt circuits pass throught the inverter even though they are not powered by the inverter from the 12 Volt battery bank.

Were you able to open and reset the GFI,,,,Must have power to reset.

You didn't say what circuit was not powered.

Good luck >>>Please report back on what you find so we all can learn.

I know my Pace Arrow was older than  yours by a decade (96) but I also  had a  GFI outlet in the lower compartment that had an outlet in the top of the compartment where a TV could be hooked up.  I almost tore the MH apart before aI  found it.  I  think mine tripped from  hitting the test button while  putting some junk in or out.

Call or e-mail Fleetwood customer support.  Have your FIN and maybe the VIN ready.  They will e-mail you your wiring diagrams immediately.  You can see all outlets and know how they are wired.
