well next would be check if its getting power in the line. You might can pull the cover and filters off on the inside and see a regular plug in that you can just unplug the AC and plug a light in and see if your getting power at least that far. Then you could actually blame the AC itself.

Typically a start capacitor is the cause of one quitting like that. You can troubleshoot like others have said but if it doesn't work go to the roof and take the A/C shroud off. Look for a couple of capacitors that might look something similar to ONE OF THESE. Mine are about your model year vintage and they are silver about 4 inches tall and round. Two heavy wires go to each one. If a capacitor is bulging it is likely bad but might be bad and not bulging. WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! A capacitor stores electricity to start the motor so it may be CHARGED and it will hurt you if you touch the poles. DON'T TOUCH unless you know how to discharge the capacitor
They are cheap and easily replaced.
 Never pass up a chance to go somewhere

First thing to check is your circuit breakers. Turn them all off and then back on, don't forget the generator. One of them is for the front air conditioner.

Are you using the gen. for ac? If so do any outlets have power If not check the breaker on the gen. There are 2 breakers on the gen. one controls the power for the rv. plus front ac . the other controls the rear ac.

Are you trying to run both AC's at the same time or indivisibly some units you can only run one at a time? And are you running from generator or outlet.
