We were plugged into shore power with all electrical components working. My wife plugged in an appliance and no power. She said when she plugged it in, there was no pop, sparks or any telltale sign of a problem. When she turned it on was when she found no power. Said appliance did work on another outlet. So here is what I checked, first I plugged in a receptacle tester and no lights, plugged in to all other outlets and it indicated they were all working correctly as does everything in fact. So I pulled the receptacle out and found the hot wire was loose, so I thought problem solved. The receptacle is one where the wire sheathing is pierced and the bare portion makes contact with the receptacle connections. It did not look like a secure connection, so I bought a new receptacle with the more secure screw and push in the back connectors and still no power. So then I suspected a loose connection at the power panel and did not find any loose connections, all connections were secure. So now at a loss, any suggestions of what to check next would be appreciated
