No electrical
I just got to my camp site. The slide went out fine, but I have no lights or power to my refridge. The breakers in the trailer are all fine.
I have a 2008 Rockwood Roo.
Any ideas what else I can try?

Let's troubleshoot a few things Ms Kelly. Are you currently plugged into any form of 120 volt AC shore power (park pedestal, generator)?
If so, do you have a microwave and is it's lights/display on? This will tell me a few things as to where to begin.

If you have a propane fridge it should be a 12v fuse not a breaker for the light and control power.

OK, if you are not plugged into 120 volt AC shore power, then your lights and other 12 volt DC stuff will operate from the battery (instead of the converter).
Your microwave, air-conditioner, electrical outlets, television will NOT operate without 120 volt AC power.
Your lights, pumps, slides, detectors, fridge on propane, furnace operate off of 12 volt DC, which power can come from your battery or your converter(if hooked to shore power)
Is your battery charged?

And the converter provided the 12 volt DC power at that time. However, since you stated you are not connected to 120 volt AC power currently, then the items mentioned above in my previous post can only get their 12 volt power via the battery.
If the battery is not charged, or discharges from use, then these items are also not going to work. It's possible if your battery is not good or charged, you drained it on the slides (did they seem to operate slow?)
You said you checked the fuse under the tongue, but did you check the 12 volt DC resettable circuit breaker underneath the trailer, usually just right past where the tongue connects to the RV?
It has a small black button on it, you push to reset. Let me find you a pic.

Are you able to plug the trailer into the campsite pedestal? This will tell us if the power is getting into the trailer when the microwave turns on or not. We can help you try to pinpoint the issue.

Trace the battery wire from where it leaves the battery box, to where it goes underneath the main trailer body past the tongue. Look for a small rectangular box similar to the one in the pic. See the small black button, which the location varies per circuit breaker....press this button in and release. This resets the circuit breaker which could be tripped. It happens a lot. You may also have more than one resettable 12 volt circuit breaker there.
If it's tripped, then power is not getting past this point. It's also possible your slides are wired upstream of the circuit breaker, which is why they work, but other stuff doesn't.

All the fuses look fine. And nothing is working. No lights, no water pump, no CO2 detector, nothing works except the slide.

See post # 9 and 11
EDIT: Are you at a campsite with no 120 volt AC shore power possible?

Where would I find this 12 volt fuse? In the fuse panel box?

It is explained where to find it in the first two sentences in post #11, unless you are talking about the fridge fuse, which shouldn't be your problem since all the other 12 volt items are not working.

Just follow the red wire from the battery till you find the micro breaker and reset it. The red wire may go into a few micro breakers. I guarantee you will the problem there. It might be hidden under or behind something. I seem to reset mine at least once a year.
