Electric wall plugs dead
Hi
I have a Jayco 30’ Travel trailer , 2017.
The kitchen electric plug is dead, as well as the outside one
There’s no reset button one either. Tried turning the fuse switches on and off, but they are still dead.
What’s my next step?
Thanks.

Find the GFCI receptacle that has tripped and reset it.

If you have a 30 amp service, you will have a GFI outlet in the bathroom that needs to be reset. If you have a 50 amp service, you may have another GFI outlet.

Welcome from Western NY State!
What Vicr and Jagiven said ^^^^^. I' have a wiring blueprint for our TT, and the outside outlets, and any inside that are near a water source have to be GFCI protected. Our GFCI outlet in in the bathroom, and protect the kitchen outlet near the sink, and both outside plugs downstream in the circuit. One GFCI outlet is designed to protect up to 5 outlets.

If you can't find the GFCI outlet, the water heater and microwave also have outlets to check...but those are usually on different breakers.
Do you have an outdoor kitchen with a refrigerator or microwave? They also have outlets.

If the above don't help than pull the face off the breaker box (POWER OFF) and look for the breaker that powers those outlets. Look for the wire attached to the breaker and make sure the screw is tight. ( Mine got loose over a couple of years. Then double check the rest for tightness and go to the ground bar and make sure they are working.
If no joy there than consider pulling out the outlets and looking to make sure the wiring is correctly attached to each. They are daisy chained so if one is loose than all the rest down the chain are disconnected also.
Last, you can have a bad breaker.

Microwave and refrigerator are working fine.
The water heater is 12 v propane.
All the outlets are working fine except the one by the kitchen sink and the outdoor one. I ran the toaster and fear it was the culprit.
Thanks for your time!!!

It was working but now it isn’t.

You don't need an electrician to do this.
Turn off the power.
Remove the face-plate
Remove the screws, top and bottom that hold the receptical in the box.
Gently pull out the receptical till you can see the wires going into it or attached to the screws in the back.
Are any loose or completely pulled out? If so then re-attach to the receptical.
Watch this youtube on how to install a new one to confirm you are doing it right
Odds are it is a loose wire on one that prevents it getting power or passing it on (daisy chain) to the next one. Mine had push in connections which are totally junk. I changed to screw type attachments to get best and lasting connections.
You can do this, I taught my wife to do it during a remodel in about 5 minutes.

Good info but it may not apply to rv outlets.
They are lots cheaper made and most are compression connections. Much easier to cause problems and easier to replace that to troubleshoot If it's not a loose connection.
Look at some rv electrical videos on You tube.

If you were using a toaster when it went off, then most likely its just a breaker tripped. Many times you can't tell if they are tripped. Check which breaker controls those outlets and turn it off and then back on.
Good Luck.

Turned out to be the bathroom reset button.
Thanks for all your inputs!
If the reset button is lit up red then it needs to be reset to no light.
