Kind of sorthing through this;

The pantry only has a light in the top - 12vdc. The stove only has the ignitor which is also 12vdc so those shouldn't be in the equation.

On mine the microwave runs off one breaker and the fridge receptacle (and others) run off another one. Have you checked those? Is your inverter on for the fridge?

The three outlets that are not working, I think part of the inverter outlet for the refrigerator, the inverter is putting out voltage and amperage when I plug something into it and ran it, there is a shore power transfer switch that switch between the inverter and shore power end it is correctly working As all of the other inverter outlets in the camper work fine, it’s just the ones that are on the slide that are not working

GFCI circuit trip? I found on my Fuzion the only way to turn off res. Fridge was to trip GFCI, but also lost TV and other sockets “downstream”

I only have one GFI see that I can fine and it’s in the bathroom and I reset it, I turned every breaker off and on seeing if they were needed to be reset, girlfriend plugEd Two electric skillets into that outlet and when it quit working the other two outlets quit also, I’m thinking circuit breaker somewhere but I can’t find it

Start at the left of the stove, pull it out & see if all wires are still attached. Wires only push into a slot almost like a scotch lock. If those are good go to the right side of the stove. Fireplace is a separate circuit.GFCI is on the 2 plugs on the island too.

You should also have a GFCI in the kitchen somewhere & one in the convenience center where you connect city water.

AS stated above I would pull the self contained 120vac wall outlets one by one looking for this as shown in the image uploaded.. a break in the "Daisy Chain" of connected outlets and you will have no power..

This also will not trip a breaker unless its really gotten hot, etc

Replace the outlets will a shallow old work box and a quality commercial grade 120 volt receptacle with screw terminals

So when you turned the breakers off/on one at a time, the outlets started working until 2 skillets were plugged into one outlet and then the outlets went dead again?
If this is the case then you have a tripped circuit breaker in your 120 (30amp)or possibly 120/240V (50amp) distribution panel.
Not all circuit breakers have the handle move when they trip or have an indicating flag.
I would try resetting all of the breakers again and only plug one skillet into the outlet and see if it stays on.
Good luck
Gord

We had the same problem over Thanksgiving. We paid a Mobile rv repairman to come out. We were positive it was the inverter. Turned out one side of the 50 amp outlet in the park pedestal had gone bad. Had we moved our power cord to the 30 amp we would have been ok. A park maintenance guy came out immediately, replaced it and everything was fine. Cost the service call though.

Need to pickup an EMS, electrical management system, to add to the incoming shore power, hardwired or portable. The EMS will read both lines on 50 amp shore power, not sure if it shuts down if one line is dead, but it will show the voltage on L1/L2 plus protect the rv from about any/all electrical anomalies that could occur. IMHO you should never plug into any power source without the EMS, IMO it should be mandatory on all RVs.
