GFI Chun is dead

I had the GFI pop. Reset the outlet at door, the rest of chain is out. 2 outside bays, bath and kitchen. I have power on both sides of plug at door. This is on a FR3. 33 ft. Called forest river and talked to tech. He was going to check and call back. 2 weeks later no call

A few Ideas.
You may have more than one master GFCI. Look in water contact areas.
The GFCI will not reset if you tripped the breaker. Reset the breaker and reset again.
What caused the trip?

Plugged a battery charger in the bay and the braker on the outlet at the door popped. I reset and only power at door. That is the only GFI that I can find

Check the circuit breaker on that circuit at the panel. Even if it looks OK, turn it fully off then on again. If that doesn't do it, you may just have to replace the GFCI outlet.

Some clarifications please; What popped? The GFCI at the the door or the breaker in the distribution panel or both?
Did you check the breaker in the distribution panel.
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) will not actually reset if the Circuit Breaker (breaker) in the distribution panel is tripped.

Replaced the GFI. Have power on both sides. Wires go into wall and can not follow to next plug. I think the next plug is the outside TV and I have to figure how to get it out so I can get to plug

Got TV out receptical in that bay had the press on connections and one was loose and had black mark on it. Replaced with house type and now have power to the whole chain. If anyone is having power outages in a chain these recepticals are a good place to look first. They are hard to get apart.
