Need 110v side & refrig help, FAST

Normally I don't post here but I have a problem I could use some help solving.

Trailer was plugged in, fan (not A/C) & refrig running (the latter on elec, not gas). Trailer became unplugged - not sure why. Plugged back in.

Refrig now does not stay on, neither 110v nor gas. I have no electric to half of my 110v outlets (front half of coach).

All other 110v and 12v appliances/lights/fans work.

No breakers (110v side) are tripped.

Need help ASAP as we are slated to hit the road in a few days.

Many thanks.

The fridge needs 12v to run on 120v or on gas. So the fridge isn't getting 12v. Why not? Other 12v things work. Why will the converter not supply 12v or the battery to the fridge?

The converter might not be getting any 120v on its receptacle if it is a plug in type, but then why isn't the battery doing the 12v instead? There is a battery disconnect switch, but some 12v is happening in part of the rig, so "not clear."

One set of 120v receptacles works but the other does not--is this a 50a rig or a 30a rig? Is the converter on the live or dead set of receptacles?

Agree to check for a popped GFCI receptacle in the dead circuit of those just in case.

Look around for a GFI outlet and reset it. The outlets could be cascaded from the GFI. Also check your circuit breakers by turning off and on not just a visual check.

Can you get to the outlet for the fridge and unplug it? Then use an extension cord to plug the fridge into a known good outlet. If it works then if none of the troubleshooting I mentioned worked I would unplug the rig and tighten down my wires in the circuit breaker box to make sure none of them has come loose

What is the charge level of the battery? If very low then things like lights may work but fridge looks for minumum V level.
