Why does my 12 volt charger not work?
CARS.COM — If you have a 12-volt power outlet that suddenly decided it didn’t want to work, the first thing to check is whether the phone charger or whatever 12-volt accessory you’re plugging into the outlet isn’t the problem.

If the voltmeter shows power is reaching the outlet, the outlet itself is probably damaged from repeated use or simple misuse. Though chargers and other plugs are supposed to be of uniform size, some may be bigger or smaller than others.
Can a 12 volt problem cause a refrigerator to fail?
A 12-volt problem can cause failure of other appliances and systems if they have 12-volt power to their controls. The refrigerator and air conditioner, even running in propane-fueled mode or on AC power, require DC voltage for their logic circuits, and so may fail to operate when there is a DC system problem.
What should I do if my Fuse isn’t working?
Try plugging it into a different power outlet to see make sure it’s working, or plug a different 12-volt device into the suspect socket. (If the electrical accessory itself is at fault, see if it has its own fuse, which is sometimes incorporated into the plug.)
What to do if your electrical outlet is not working?
So look for that and consult any specifications or manuals you have for your RV. If you cannot reset a breaker or switch, then you may need to trace the electrical circuit (s) that are giving you trouble. However, this must be done with caution and armed with all the tools at your disposal.

Another thought is that the wiring could be loose and tightening the connections might solve your problem, but my opinion is that it has reached its useful lifespan. Have 1998 Safari Sahara, the gfi plug in kitchen losses power but does not trip breaker on plug or throw any breakers, and comes back on after 10 or 15 minutes.
