Okay, here is what to do next.

First, repeat the measurement in power3.docx, except one voltmeter probe goes on the screw of the 30 amp. breaker, not any of the others. The other probe goes on the white neutral bus bar, same as before. If you get 120 Vac, then turn that 30 amp breaker all the way off, then all the way on and see if you have voltage throughout the trailer.

If you do not have voltage, indulge me on the next step. With the trailer unplugged, make sure the screws are tight on every breaker, and on every screw on the neutral bus (white wires) and on every screw on the ground bus (bare wires). There have been reports of trailers coming from the factory with terminals insufficiently tight.

If you still do not have power at the 30 amp breaker, then the link from the trailer inlet (Power2.docx) to the 30 amp circuit breaker must be open. Since you've checked the end that terminates at the neutral bus and at the screw on the 30-amp. breaker, you must now test the other end. That's where the cord enters the trailer. Easy if you can get to the back side. Since it's above the Outside shower, it's likely under the bathroom vanity. You may have to remove a dummy panel at the back of the vanity. With power on, check voltage at the terminals there. With power off, tighten the terminals. Check voltage at the screw of the 30-amp. breaker.

Please post back and tell us what you've found. Really frustrating to walk someone through a tricky problem when they succeed, go off and have a beer to celebrate and never tell us.

Oh, and next time, if you have the skill, please mark up the images directly and upload as .jpg or .png. Much easier to access the images.
As promised I am returning to provide you an update to my situation. Well, after securing a square bit I removed the connector and low and behold - just like Med equipment- loose connection.

Problem solved. Thanks for the help.

My pleasure. Glad to have helped.

Hang onto that #2 Robertson bit. It fits 95% of the fasteners in your RV.
