1983 Revcon Prince power dilema

Greetings, I recently inherited a 1983 Prince that has been sitting in a airplane hanger since 2008. Drove it home, plugged it in and everything was working. Came back a few days later and the microwave and front A/C do not work. The outlets all work. When I turn on the generator the rear A/C works (as it should) but still no microwave or front A/C. I have searched everywhere looking for a GFI that might have tripped, but no luck. I have 2 breakers by the Generator, and 4 in the bathroom closet. All are good. Any help would be appreciated!

Plugged in at home ; what is the amperage of your power supply ?

Is your coach a 30 amp or 50 amp unit ?

Roof top A/C should not be on a GFCI circuit .

Did you turn the circuit breakers ; you found ; off then back on ?
What is the amperage rating of those circuit breakers ?

There should be a switch near the microwave, that looks like a massive light switch, to switch power to EITHER the microwave, or the front A/C. It is a three position switch. top is microwave, bottom is A/C, and middle is power off to both devices. I would start with that to ensure you haven't just inadvertently disconnected both units.

@skip426, Plugged in at home ; what is the amperage of your power supply ? plugged in to 110 (As it was the last time they were working)

Is your coach a 30 amp or 50 amp unit ? 30 Amp

Roof top A/C should not be on a GFCI circuit . Agree

Did you turn the circuit breakers ; you found ; off then back on ? Tried resetting all breakers with no success.
What is the amperage rating of those circuit breakers ? 20 and 30

I figured out my power dilemma. I had not noticed the top 2 breakers were installed opposite of the bottom 2. Two flip up to be on and two flip down. Now on to the plumping. I have a couple of 90s that have separated and need to find the tool and crimp connectors to reconnect.
