Do you have any GFI outlets?

look for a GFI outlet and see if it is tripped.

A GFI outlet protects every outlet down stream on the same circuit.

The receptacles are daisy-chained together. One with bad connections will cause all the rest downstream on that circuit be be dead. Kill the power, then open up the dead one closes to the breaker panel and check the connections. If that's OK, check the next live one toward the panel. Keep checking until you find the loose wires.

All men over age 50 should get an annual PSA blood test. Mine had a low reading, but the yearly jump was significant. The biopsy showed cancer just entering the aggressive stage. Dr. Hackenslash removed it.

Check the bathroom outlet as that is where they generally hide the GFI outlet, reset it.

You might also find GFI outlets outside, in the kitchen, in some outside compartments, and in the washer/dryer area even if you don't have it plumbed for a washer/dryer. Check all GFIs first as this is the most common cause of what you are describing. If that doesn't do it, go with Kenneth's approach.

I too suggest the GFCI outlet(s) need to be checked
Most GFCI's have a button or two and a small light.... So if you can not find the GFCI than wait till night, turn off all lights, draw all shades and start
"Looking for the light, waiting in the darkness, Looking for the light of a tripped GFCI" (That actually sings to a tune called "Looking for the light" believe it or not)
When you see the light.. You found the tripped GFCI Press RESET and the light should go out
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

I bet the RV engineers have a manual titled "BEST HIDING PLACES FOR GFCI OUTLETS" I'm sure it's labeled 'top secret' I wonder if we can get a copy?
I actually found an outlet (luckily not a GFCI) under the floor in my Bounder bathroom cabinet.
