RV Electrical Question

We were dry camping and had to run our generator (Yamaha 2000) to activate our air conditioner. We turned off all sources in the RV including the "converter". The only circuit operating was the AC. The AC worked fine. After returning home and plugging in, and turning on all systems, it seems the trailer is running on 12 V only (the plugs and microwave) are not functioning. Any thoughts?

Check MAIN AC PANEL for tripped circuit breakers and check for tripped GCFI outlet in kitchen/bathroom

And note that a 2000W generator will probably not adequately run an A/C. Many folks pair up 2 2000W generators to get the needed power.

Thank you. I have resolved the issue. It was the circuit breakers.
