When a trailer is wired, the outlets are set in series. The first will almost always be a GFI with reset buttons and the others downstream area also GFI but no reset buttons. This is common in houses as well.



You will need to pop the covers off all your outlets and start closest to your power converter and move away. The outlets don't have screws fastening the wires inside like most houses but have a couple blades that allow the installer to pop the wire in and the blades cut the insulation and make contact. Much quicker (cheaper) install this type of outlet in a trailer. The vibration from AC can make the wires come out of the blades and continuity is lost breaking the series. I had this happen with the microwave outlet which was in a cabinet a couple trailers ago.
