Lost power to section of camper and both fridges (they are running on propane), found the kitchen GFCI was tripped and would not reset. Thought GFCI was bad so replaced with new one, still no power and new GFCI says "open ground". All fuses and breakers are ok, unhooked outlet by front door and now have power to GFCI and outlet by kitchen sink. Still no power to outlet by stove and fridges. I cannot find a wiring diagram anywhere to help me identify where to chase. All other outlets and power works fine, it is just that 1 section. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
 
I am sure you check the power pole for the looseground?
 
It's unlikely the two refrigerators are downstream of a circuit with the gfci. The gfci however may be downstream of the two refrigerators. Disconnect from the pedestal and check behind the distribution panel for a loose terminal, neutrals and grounds. If you have a power transfer relay switch open the cover and check all the terminals.

Update: Ran down bad wire from the outside entertainment outlet that runs to outlet by the stove. All outlets have power now instead of outlet by stove. Bad news fridges still have no power, running on propane.
