help with a few things '92 Bounder

We recently bought an older MH that seems to have been well taken care of and has only 20,000mi. It has been sitting dry for a few months, now we want to get some use out of it this summer. Today I started the gen. and walked around checking things everything worked except air conditioners (both) and vent fans (both) it seems unlikely they are all broke, like no power, I found in the own man there is a switch for air unit 1 or 2 or both, is there a setting for both off, seems more like a fuse or breaker problem. any help will be greatly appreciated

The vent fans are probably 12v. The generator has circuit breakers on its control panel, a switch (either auto or manual) to switch from 120 shore power to 120 gen. Then the electricity is routed to a panel with circuit breakers in it for each AC and other circuits in the coach.

Aye Captain,

There is a switch, usually located inside the upper cabinet and on the side wall, in back of the driver's seat. Off is the center position. Both normally work when generator is on and only one will work while plugged into shore power.
Flip all A/C breakers to see that they are engaged including the breakers in the genny compartment. Your vent fans could be tied into the GFCI, usually located in the head or galley, so push the red and then the black buttons to test for continuity.
