No power to outlets

DW was using the hair dryer in the bathroom when the power went off to all of the outlets in the front half of the MH. She was plugged in to the GFI outlet so I tried to reset the switch with no luck. I thought that the outlet was bad so I replaced it with a new one and still no power to the outlets in the front half of the MH. The only plug in the front half of the MH that is working is the other GFI outlet by the sink. Can it be that I am not getting any power coming to the plug its self? And if so how do I check to see if I do have power coming to the plug. Can it be a bad transfer switch?
Need a little help with this one.

Check the breakers. There are 2 that control that outlet. One is in your main
breaker panel and is labeled 'inverter' - 30 amps. The other is either a toggle
or push-to-reset breaker on your inverter itself. If either is off, no power to the
inverter supplied outlets.

(If the main is off, no power to any of them, if the one on the inverter is off, no power
to half the outlets.)

You did not say if you bought your motor home new or used.
If you bought it new you should have and elect. plot Plan showing you where your wires go though out your Rig as well as all your pluming.
If not you might check with the manufacture to get a copy.
I don't understand why when someone sells their rig why they don't give the buyer the manual that they receive with the Rig when they bought it, new of course.
When I up graded to a newer M.H. I pass along a file container that included every piece of paper and folders on all the appliances and you name it I had it in the container.
I still have all the paper work to the 1997 Dolphin M.H. that I have now and I will continue to compile it until I get rid of it.
Just a thought.

Whenever something happens that affects more than one receptacle, the first place to check is the breaker panel and/or GFI reset. It is possible for a problem with a receptacle to short the entire circuit, but is much more probably that something tripped the circuit.

It's also possible the circuit breaker is getting weak and tripped at a level below what it is rated at, but this again is far more remote than an overloaded circuit.
