Need more information... Set up at campground? Any power to power pole? No power at motor home? Let's start with the basics.

First do you have a multi meter?
If you do you need to start at the beginning that’s the circuit breaker panel, ck for voltage at the main circuit breaker. Assuming you have power there know check for power coming off the circuit breaker feeding the outlets. If you have power coming off the circuit breaker then you will need trace the wiring to the outlets.
This is only the start.
You may have EMS that will increase your tracing of wires
This only the beginning
Keep us updated

Check the circuit breakers at the inverter and reset any GFI outlets. A lot of issues occur at these two places.

Winnebago provides online product info for your coach, including wiring diagrams. Here is the path to the 120V diagram set:

Winnebago Product Information
Wiring Diagrams
Vista/Sunstar E35F Wiring Diagram Book
Body, 110 Volt Wiring Installation/Diagram

On the 120V diagram, sheet 4 (page 5 of the PDF document), you'll see the wiring layout. The receptacles in your coach are fed from multiple 120V circuit breakers. If they are ALL out, then a problem exists with the main breaker, or upstream- but that would be unlikely considering your report that " everything else works."

What does your coach's EMS display say?

OP, was it the gfi outlet that you replaced? If so, did you check for voltage to it before you replaced?

Like others have suggested, start with where the male of your power cord plugs in. Check for voltage there and if it is, check at the breaker panel for voltage. If it's there and feeding through the breaker, then there is a break in the wiring past that. The first receptacle in line would be the one to check next.

If the breaker panel has no power, then the break is between it and the power cord. Transfer switch or lose wire may be the culprit.

Winnebago is very good at supplying information to its customers. Their website has wiring diagrams that are helpful in situations like this. Here is a link for the miscellaneous wiring diagrams.

Note: If only the receptacles attached to the inverter are not working, try resetting the circuit breaker(s) on the inverter.

Also, some RV wiring systems do not play well with GFCI outlets. Try plugging into a non GFCI outlet and see what you have.

Have you tried starting the gen set ?

If you've only checked the breaker at the pedestal , you've only done 1/2 the testing you need to , get out the voltmeter.

OP here, Got a pro that was working in the park to have a look. Equipped with the proper testing tools he found a loose neutral wire on a breaker in the main panel. Fifteen minutes and the best $20 I've spent in a while.
All is well.

There is a lesson to be learned here. Without rechecking I believe every suggestion offered would not have found the problem even if checked for voltages on all the hot terminals. By checking a hot wire to ground you would bypass the bad neutral connection every time.
