I do not have any 120V power in the kitchen slide-out but the 12V is ok? Strange??
Thank you in advance!!
No, not strange.
There's potentially three separate circuits in the kitchen slide if the diagram I have access to is correct (it may be wrong).
Does the microwave work?
How about the outlets on the side of the island? Rear wall of the kitchen slide? (These are GFCI.)
Does the refrigerator work? (If it does ensure it's not on the inverter. Turn the inverter off to verify the refrigerator's outlet is powered from shore power.)

In addition to Howson's suggestions, check the power input cable. I found one time that half of the systems in the camper were not working, ended up being the power in cable was not completely seated. Turned the chord a coupe of degrees clockwise to seat the connection and all was good.

OK, those outlets are on the same circuit as the refrigerator so same question: does the refrigerator work? If it does, then the problem may be inside of an outlet that interconnects to the outlets in the slide. RV outlets are not like standard household outlets.
The outlet on the kitchen wall (entertainment center?) is also possibly on the same circuit--does the TV work?
Google "outlet howson site:gdrvowners.com" and there will be quite a list of threads for you to read that are similar and contain a lot of information.

SteLar -- I'm off on a hunt where I'm camping with a friend to find a replacement for a bad two-stage regulator on his 297RSTS. I may be off the forum for most of the day--there are plenty of other forum members that may jump in that are just as (or more!) knowledgeable on your electrical issue than I am. Hope you resolve the issue soon.

As the issue is in a slide, the problem may be the splice/transition from solid copper wire to flexible stranded wire. My understanding is that this is likely done with a WEGO (?) connector tucked up above the corrugated plastic. There have been several threads about moisture getting to these connectors.
