If so, time to pull each of the downstream outlets and check the wire connections. RV manufacturers use cheap "pinch and cut insulation" type connectors as they are easy and quick to install, but are susceptible to losing connection in a moving vehicle.
Going down to your bigbox hardware store and buying a 10 pack of their cheapest duplex outlets would be a big upgrade.

Before the electricians start in....
The RV versions are designed to be finger safe, in other words when you mount it, it is completely encased with plastic so nothing external can touch a live wire or part. Electrocution avoidance.
The household versions are NOT finger safe in the back and/or side so you will need to add some form of box around each one. I have seen people wrap these with lots of tape to prevent touching but I don't trust tape only for that chore. Even if you bury them in the cabinet the exposed live parts could touch something (loose fasteners) then more problems.
