Get electrical help if you need it.
You have a potentially very serious safety issue.

Yes the GFCI kept tripping so we replaced it but the new one does the same. We replaced it with a regular receptacle to see what would happen and it works but the other 2 still do not work.
GFCI tripping cause it was sensing an issue downstream---ground fault
Need to pull each outlet and check wiring/contacts etc.
Start with outlet closest to the GFCI outlet - Artum_SnowbirdExplorerI would suggest getting one of those inexpensive electrical plug testers and see if anything shows up before I started tearing into things.
A lot of campers are put together with push in wires instead of a higher grade. They get particularly finicky when heavy loads are plugged into the plugs and there is a very tiny contact point where the connectors bite into the wiring.
The odd thing about electrical wiring is the white return wire is often the problem. - MaryettaExplorerYes the GFCI kept tripping so we replaced it but the new one does the same. We replaced it with a regular receptacle to see what would happen and it works but the other 2 still do not work.
- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIDoubt they even had a schematic when they did the wiring.
Have you checked for a tripped GFCI outlet?
Kitchen/outside receptacles are most likely on a GFCI fed circuit
