OK Boys and Girls, problem solved. One piece of info I neglected to tell you is that on Friday I replaced my 12v duel purpose marine/starting battery with two new Crown 6v 240ah deep cycle batteries in preparation for my future solar set up. Apparently I touched something where I shouldn't have and blew the 12v/15amp fuse for the stereo system and the three 12v/25amp fuses on the converter.
Looks like all 12v systems have been running off of battery power since about noon Friday when I did the battery replacement. I was aware of the stereo fuse right away Saturday when I arrived at the lake and tried to turn on the stereo. I replaced that fuse and thought all was well. One thing I did notice but didn't connect the dots was that the 12v lights seem a bit dimmer than normal. But that just kind of made me go hmmm...
Looks like when the 12v system got too low it wouldn't power the t-stats so the t-stats couldn't call for cool from the AC's. I replaced all three 25 amp fuses on the converter and switched everything back on. Both AC's are now working and lights are bright as can be.
Based on input from the folks above I decided to open up the compartment where the converter is hidden and that's how I found the three blown fuses. I appreciate everyone input to my issue. Once again the RV.net group jumped right in with help.
