Only a couple places it could be. Breaker box at the foot of the bed or possibly one of the breakers in the battery comparment

Does everything else work???

Yes, everything else is working fine.

Where are the breakers in the battery box? In the compartment with the two batteries for the inverter?

Usually the AC circuit breakers are located on the power distribution panel on the converter. The converter is that ugly brown box with the door that flips down when you push it.

Mine is located under the refrigerator in the hallway of my 2015 Vegas 24.1. Don't know where yours is but when you open the door you'll see the fuses for the DC power distribution on one side and the AC circuit breakers for AC power distribution on the other side.

Here is a pic of mine with the door open.

Yes, thank you very much. I have the identical box, but it doesn't have a breaker for the furnace and the a/c breaker is not tripped. Reset it just in case, no change.

Cuz the furnace uses DC not AC. If both the Air Conditioner and furnace do not work it may be a thermostat problem (assuming the same thermostat controls both) or a control power to the thermostat problem.

Yes sir. Lots of ac, no dc to relays. Fuse #5, appliances, wide open. Think maybe I put a piece of metal somewhere I shouldn't have. First mistake ever

Here's the deal. Your furnace supplies 12v power to the thermostat. The thermostat controls the a/c and the heat. There is a reset breaker located at the furnace. You will need to open the back of the furnace, locate and reset the breaker. Hopefully you will then have power to the thermostat. Just try it, 10 screws, the exhaust pipe pulls out. Breaker is located on the furnace.

Thank you for the info. I somehow blew the "appliances" fuse. Replaced it and am back in business.
