For some reason, 4 of the 6 elec outlets have stopped working. The GFI outlet in the kitchen will not reset either.

Is there something I can check myself before I take it to the dealership??

Is the GFI in the bathroom tripped?

I had a couple of outlets that were not working....heck, one was only working on the upper half, which told me that the outlets were NFG. When I replaced them, I was amazed at how cheap the quality was, but then figured that "Lowest Bidder" had come into play for the Mfgr.

Once I replace them, it's been fine.
But, I'd check the GFI first

You may also want to get one of those plug in Circuit Testers, they are pretty cheap, and good to have anyway, to test CG power....you may just have a lose wire?

Has to be a circuit breaker somewhere. Look for electric panel and slowly turn the breakers off then back on. Hope it helps.

Start at the panel, and if the feeder breaker is not tripped, check its outgoing lead to see if it is hot. If it is, then it is one of your GFCI's

The GFI is wired to control several other outlets which also go through your circuit breakers. I had same problem and rewired GFI which solved it. System is still protected with circuit breakers in the trailer and on the Rv site box.

A GFCI receptacle not wanting to reset is a sign of lack of power. Turn off circuit breakers applying light pressure toward off, then turn back on one at a time.

Generally, the GFI circuit includes all the outlets near water and your outside 120v outlet(s). Check them all and see if any needs reset. My guess is the one outside is tripped.

Hope your travels are safe and the friendships made camping are lasting.
