Did the microwave kick the breaker? Sometimes a 110 breaker looks like it's still on, but it's just barely tripped. Turn them off hard, and then back on, then see if you get power.

If you have an inverter, check the circuit breaker on it.

Maybe just a bad outlet, or loose wire. After you try everything else, turn the main off and pull the outlet out and take a look at it.

Your inverter also has a 115 breaker in your panel as well as your microwave. Try resetting both again first. Your inverter controls your 115 microwave outlet so it's either one of the breakers, the inverter or the outlet.

Any possibility that you were hooked up on 50 amp service and one leg didn't have any power? I know that's a bit of a stretch....but just trying to think of possibilities.

Or, pull the electrical outlet and inspect it for a loose wire.

Very Strange

I left a campground where everything was working. Went to a free casino park with electric. Everything worked EXCEPT the outlet to the microwave. Went to a $30 campground and again everything is working.

That would help confirm what @scbwr was speculating about.

If you have two AC's one would not have been working if it was a bad leg. Front AC on Leg 1 and Rear AC one Leg Two. Good test to see if it's your shore power problem in the future. On my coach, every other breaker is on a different Leg so you can look at that as well.

Thanks everyone for the great information.
Free electric at the casino, you get what you paid for.
