Purchase an outlet tester

from Home Depot or the like for $15 or less. Start with the GF outlet and watch the lights on the tester. Also, try to find a wiring diagram for your RV to know the next outlet from GF. Test each outlet from the GF until the light(s) don't come on - you may have located the trouble. Probably a bad wire connection. However, If you test out of sequence, the trouble could be in the outlet before the one you test as "open." Outlet boxes for RVs are terribly made with punch down connections that vibrate loose. Best to replace with regular household outlet. Use the outlet side screws for a tighter wire connection. Moreover, make certain the new outlet is in a grounded plastic or metal box to lessen the chance of spark/fire should a wire come loose.
