It sounds like there may be a problem with the right LED Trailer Tail Light # STL13RFHXB. As you have already verified you have power going to the light you will want to verify the wire isn't damaged behind where you tested going into the light. There are 3 wires with one ground, one for the brake/turn signal and the last wire for the running lights. If the wire is good all the way up to your tail light then the light assembly will need to be replaced. Since you mentioned it being a new RV you should be able to have it replaced under warranty.
