Electrical Issues

I woke up this morning and had no power to my living room tv. I own a 2016 Vengence 38L13.
I have no power to any of those outlets, the outlet in the garage by the tv, the outlets by the stove, or the outside outlet. From my understanding they are all on the same circuit with the bathroom gfi outlet. I have power in the bathroom and the gfi didn't blow.
I'm on good 50 amp power and my other outlets work. Circuit breaker seems fine.
Any suggestions?

Start at the last good outlet. Open it up and look. Its possible due to the cheap push on connectors used thst a wire has come loose.

The bathroom GFI is the first one in line. Work from there. Go to the closest outlet of outside, maybe the microwave, kitchen counters, outlets in outside storage areas. They are daisy-chained.

The bathroom GFI may be bad, see pic.
The other GFI on the island is fine.

Yep, brown is heat. Not good. If your camping you can remove the GFI and wirenut the w to w, b to b and g to g.

I've had both issues with my fiver. Had one outlet where the push in wiring was loose causing intermittent electrical connection and had a GFI that went bad knocking out several outlets.

Installed the new GFI and all it does is trip it when I turn the circuit breaker on.
Guess I’ll have to get an electrician to look at it.

Have you unplugged everything? You could have an issue with something that is plugged in.
