120 V Electrical Problem

Yesterday I purchased a new to us 2004 RBR26. So far it's a wonderful coach but there is no 120V to the outlet in the cabinet behind the TV and DVR player. All breakers are set and there are no other outlets that that I've found don't work. In the past I have found the there is usually a CGI hidden some where that feeds power to the bad outlet. If so I can't find it. Can anyone help me locate the problem. This outlet is in the cabinet on the left of the entry door, next to the refrigerator. It appears to be fed through the outside outlets but the are getting power.

Any help would be appreciated.

First suggestion would be to ask the former owner about it. Second thought is that outlet may be powered from an inverter hidden somewhere that is turned off.

Thanks for the quick reply. The previous owner is deceased. His son knows nothing about the coach. Don't think there is an inverter.

Where would I look for an inverter.

If the former owner installed an inverter after market, he could have mounted it in any number of locations. Is your TV powered from that dead outlet? If so, the inverter would allow you to run your TV from coach battery power without the need to be plugged into shoreline power to get 120 vac to run TV.

You say your coach is a RBR26R, do you mean 26RB?

Just returned home from out summer trip and starting to work on the BF again. I now find both the TV outlet in the cabinet and the outside outlet have no power. Is there a hidden GFCI for the outside circuit? I know the outlets are all on a GFCI breaker in the power center but I would think there would be additional GFCI protection for the bathroom and sink area. Any ideas???

RE: an inverter. I can find no sign of an inverter. if there was one is there any likely spot for its installation? I will be putting one in at some point when I get the solar installed..
