What kind of electrical problem do I have?
I have a 20001 HR Scepter that is plugged at home in a 30A outlet,the same outlet I've had for years. Today, while plugged, I started to lose power inside the RV for a few seconds up to maybe 45 seco...

With a loss of 120V power the transfer switch in the inverter switches to battery so the batteries must be good or the inverter would not work.
However; that does not explain why the other 12V items do not work since they work from the same batteries or at least they should be.
If you had a short circuit you would be popping circuit breakers since that does not happen it sounds to me like you have a bad (or poor) connection somewhere between your circuit breaker panel in the RV and where you plug in the RV. Most likely at the plug itself.
If you have a meter you need to check for low incoming voltage in one of the non inverter outlets and trace it back from there.
