A few 110 Volt outlets not working

Hi
I have a 6 year old Palimino 253. The 110 volt outlets do not wok in the bedroom , the slide and where the refrigerator plugs in.
I suspect these may be in series. Breakers work and have power to them. Is there a junction box someplace on the trailer I should check for corrosion a broken wire. Also how do the outlet boxes come apart , looks like little tangs holding them together.
Thanks very much
paul

Time for the volt meter. Start at the first outlet closest to the breaker box. Very likely a loose wire at the push on connector. These cheesy outlets use a push on rather than a screw terminal for the wires. They are infamous for coming apart. New outlets are cheap at any hardware store.

the connectors are cheesy, I have checked all the boxes that are not working ...only the one under the fridge cover has two wires going to I assume another box all the other boxes only have a single wire in no wire out ...so I am hoping that somewhere there is a junction box ..... I cant find the box.

Have you actually checked voltage across each breaker? Without a volt meter your really shooting in the dark.

did you check voltage to ground, sometimes you lose a neutral, check neutral connections at the panel box, is there a junction bow where the main trailer cord comes in, they might have a splice in there, checked all external plugs for loose wires, just shooting in the dark
