First welcome to the forum.
How comfortable/knowledgeable are you with working on electrical components? Do you own and know how to use a VOM?

Lots of trailers have two GFCI's. One for each side of the trailer. Maybe you have not found the one for that side of the trailer?

The outlets are notorious for loosing power. They typically have "push in" wire connections that will fail. so the trick is to find the first outlet "upstream" where the circuit is lost.
The outlets are daisy Chained" I would start with removing the GFI outlets and test for the presence of electricity on the load side. If it's ok then go to the next outlet and check the line coming in. Repeat this process until you find where the power disappears.

Everything in the same slide? After the GFCI I would suspect the cable under the slide. That electrical cable flexes every time the slide moves and could have broken.

Are you connected to shore power? GFCI won't reset unless powered up first.

The AC cord from the frame/underbelly to the slide is much like an extension cord with stranded not solid conductors. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but it would be a definite exception to the rule.

I've found several (not a large number) mobile home connectors loose or the screw terminals on them loose. Usually, when Keystone does use this type connector, to transition from ROMEX to twisted strand, flexible wire. They are reliable, but occasionally an owner will stack stuff in a cabinet and knock the connector loose or accidentally pull a wire from the screw terminal. Look under the trailer, find where the slide power cable enters the trailer underbelly, then go inside and find the connector (usually in a cabinet or behind a false front. These Molex connectors work well, but aren't completely reliable when used with moving parts.
