Sudden Power Loss

Two weeks ago, while plugged into 120V at a campsite, our 2012 16' Deluxe totally lost power and went into total darkness.  This lasted for a minute or two before lights came back on.  My initial expectation was that the campground lost power, coupled with our 12V battery either already being dead (due to charging failure) or cut off due to a blown fuse.  But we just couldn't figure out what happened.  No circuitbreakers had tripped, no fuses had blown, and the 12V battery was fully charged.  (We travel with a voltmeter thanks to a problem with the towing harness that occurred in 2018.)  Does anyone have any ideas re what could have happened?

Plug

Every time I've seen this happen, it was a plug that was loose and fell out of the converter.

Thanks!  But, our lights came

Thanks!  But, our lights came back on a minute or so later.  That wouldn't have happened if the plug had fallen out.  (That did happen to us once, many years ago.  ;-) )  I did look in that compartment the next day, and nothing was loose.
