Does anyone know why the outside outlet on my Rpod 179 might not have power?

Check GFCI. It may be in the outside outlet or in the bathroom or kitchen area. One GFCI controls several downstream outlets.

Also I just am seeing that no outlet inside is working either?

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter - it's a safety device designed to protect you from electrical shock under certain circumstances.

Ground fault Circuit Interrupter. Should be an outlet with a set and reset button. Your last response seems to indicate you fixed it. Good Job.

I suspect you got moisture in an outlet. That will trip your GFCI master outlet. Sometimes it's that outside outlet that gets wet.
