Help troubleshooting AC power outage please

My wife just turned the air conditioner down a bit and it kicked on but then we heard a pop and all our AC stuff went off then came back on then went off again. Neither the interior nor exterior breakers are tripped. The air conditioner breaker tripped but my wife reset it. We have a Progressive EMS PT50X and it’s reading E 0 (which is no error) and 60 H (I’m assuming hertz which should be correct), L - 1 119 (which I’m assuming is leg 1 volt which should be within range) 0A which I’m assuming means the RV is drawing no amps. I also says L - 2 123 1A which I’m assuming is leg 2 and clean but drawing no real power. There’s a real acrid smell, especially in the basement where the converter and stuff is. Would I be correct that shore power is clean but something is fried in the RV? We have DC power but no AC (outlets, etc). Any ideas?

It’s a 2015 Palomino Sabre 34-TBOK.

  • Might have a loose or burnt connection.
    Better get an electrical person to troubleshoot.
  • Where the smell is... do you have a transfer switch in there too?
    If so take the lid off and look for heat damage.

    Voltmeter or voltage detector would help trace where the power stops.
