UPDATE: I was able to get the problem fixed. It turned out to be a bad ground wire in the back half of the trailer. I just had to hire a mobile technician and he was able to get it solved.

Hello all! Wondering if anyone can advise or point me toward any helpful links and/or threads. Thanks!

Trailer: 2023 Imagine 3210BH
Problem:
Having trouble with my electrical system. This is the third time it has done this in the last 2 months.
I discovered it each time when I entered the trailer and waved my hand in front of the control panel only to find that it doesn't "wake up." When that happens, here is what is going on in the trailer:
What works:
GFI over stove, outlet in bunkroom
Small lights over table, coffee bar, stove, over recliners
All lights in the bathroom and bedroom
Light in refrigerator (I have not checked if the refrigerator cools though)
What does not work:
Control panel (and any lights/slides/awnings controlled by it; although one caveat: the first time this happened, the overhead lights were on which made it so they couldn't turn off!)
Light switch in bunkroom
Individual wall lights in bunkroom
GFI in bathroom, outlets over coffee bar, on island
What has fixed it twice is the following routine: (1) unplug from shore power, (2) turn off all breakers, (3) disconnect the battery, (4) unplug one of the solar panel wires, (5) let sit for several hours.
This is obviously not a workable long term solution. Something is causing something to trip and I don't know where to begin to isolate this. I may have a broken GFI in the bathroom (it's acting up and I plan to replace asap) but I don't understand how this would affect such a hodge-podge of other things.
Note: No fuses are broken; house outlet is fine; surge protector still working fine.
Any advice is appreciated.
