Blown breaker or fuse
Help, I tried to run too many things at once. I had the microwave, toaster oven and then the little space heater came on. Now none of them are on. Not sure how to fix it. I turned the switches off and back on in the box inside and outside. Still nothing. What do I try next?

By switches do you mean the circuit breakers? You probably have tripped one.
Even if you flipped them once, try again. Sometimes they don't snap back into position. Look at the levers or handles on the circuit breakers. Are they all aligned?

The fridge is working on ac. The microwave, toaster oven still don’t come on. I do have a surge protector. I changed my trailer plug to a different pedestal that was right by the one I was using.
I turned on off a couple of times. They look aligned. the switches inside trailer breaker box.

The circuits are marked, you may need to get down and close to read them

Is there a GFCI on the circuit? In the case of an overload it should be the circuit breaker that tripped but it wouldn't hurt to check the GFCI.

I don’t know where the GFCI switch is located. It is not on the cabinet front in the kitchen, either side of benches in the seating area. I don’t have a table. I have easy access to the breaker box.

The GFCI plug is located outside, you were correct CPA Harley, thank you. I pushed the reset button and nothing. I also pushed the test side and then the reset button. I plugged my hair dryer into both sides of that plug. Neither worked.

Are you sure the refer is on a/c and not propane or battery? Your main fuse have have blown so that there is no power, at all? Can you verify that there is 120v at someplace inside?

Do you have the inverter with all outlets options? If you do, the breakers for the microwave, etc. are under the dinette bench. Below is a pic of the breaker location for the U-shaped.

So everything was being run off the batteries? Golly, no wonder it popped. Yet there was 120v available, why use the inverter?

I wasn’t using the inverter. I was hooked up to power, just tried to run too many high draw things at the same time. I have not tried using my inverter yet.

Interesting. What's the path for the power? Does it first go to a 30 amp breaker in the main panel?
