Thor Four Winds 31W. No power to the electrical receptacles powering the TVs/entertainment system and refrigerator. Checked GFI receptacle in bathroom and it is okay, also checked the fuses and converter and they all seem to be okay. Any suggestions?

Are you plugged into Shore Power (SP)?
Do other receptacles have power?
Is your Inverter on?
Is the breaker for these items tripped?
Did you check the output breaker on the inverter?
When was the last time it worked and what has changed since it last worked?

Still more questions:

What model year?
Equipped with an inverter?
If yes on the inverter, does it have its own GFCI outlet and/or transfer switch?
Checked 120v circuit breakers in load center?
 
My guess is that there is more than one GFI outlet. Typically one GFI outlet (like the one in the bathroom) is linked to outlets on one side of the rig. Then there'll be another GFI outlet linked to outlets on the other side. Now where did Thor hide this other outlet - who knows. But I'd bet a large sum of your money it's there, somewhere...

It is also a known issue that the GFI outlets Thor installs are of poor quality. It may be that the outlet, although not 'tripped', is not working properly. If you can't find another GFI outlet and you're sure the dead outlets are linked to the bathroom outlet, replace it.
 
Check that you have incoming ac power while on shore power. After that confirm that the generator is suppying ac power while offshore disconnected. These 2 conditions should give ac to the house.

OP was back on the Forum today but didn't bother to take the time to answer any questions posed to him in this thread. Until he does, there will be nothing but uneducated guesses from people trying to help him but with nothing to go on.
 
I had a similar problem. It was the GFI plug under the dinette that had popped. Reset it and all was back to normal. Took a while to figure it out but once I looked at the electrical schematic it was easy to see what plugs were GFI.
Hope this helps
