97 Bounder AC problems

I've got a 97 Bounder with 2 air conditioners and 30 amp power.
It's my understanding that the Intellitec Climate Control System cycles the acs on and off so they share the power.
The Intellitec power on light comes on for both but the front ac never comes on.
I located the control box for the Intellitec and tried switching from front to rear ac but only get the rear ac to come on from there too.
If I'm on generator, both acs work great.
Is there a fuse that could be causing the problem? Or am I overlooking something?

I had a '99 Bounder for several years with a similar issue. As I recall there was a test switch located separate, but near the Intellitech board, that allow me to go manual to test the system. Both were located above the fridge alongside the DC fuses and AC breakers. Both of these items were separate from the thermostat board located in the Kitchen/dinning area. Hope this helps, it has been awhile since I had that coach.

I've checked that control and the rear ac works fine with that switch, but not the front

Sounds like the problems I had with my 97. Had it checked several times with tecksand changed boards and boxes. Only 1 air will run on 30 amp at a time. It tried to cycle a couple of times but never worked well without tripping the breaker. We finally used the front with a fan to blow air into the back and vice versa when in the front. So loud. Good luck, that system never worked well for me.

In mine, only the rear will work on shore power. Front will not work at all.
Turn on gen and either or both work

I found an Intellitec owners manual online.
This shows the 97 Bounder with a 5 KW gen doesn't have the front AC powered when on shore power. It is only powered by generator.
The Bounder with a 4 KW gen has both ACs powered by shore power AND gen.
Based on this, it looks like I can only run rear AC when on shore power or both on gen power.
