This was on December 31 so no services were open. So I got an online tech site that uses AI that put me in contact with an RV Tech. Had to turn all breakers off in unit, turn off breaker to shore power and unplug, then plug in, turn breakers on. Then we had almost 12v and could bring in the slides and hook up to the pickup so we could go to our next site. This unit is just a year old.

You said the trailer is "just a year old". A 2022/2023 Cougar will have In-Command. What the tech instructed you to do would have "reset the In-Command system, allowing anything that might have been "glitched by the computer" to reset. That may be the "key to what happened" or it may well be something else. I'd make a SWAG that your issue stemmed from the In-Command and resetting it fixed your problem.
Should it happen again, I'd start by rebooting In-Command and see if that fixes your problem.
If you've been around computers for any length of time, you've probably heard the advice to turn off your computer and reboot it at least weekly. The reasons may vary depending on who you're talking to, but essentially, Microsoft operating systems have a way of "just fixing things whether they need fixing or not".... In-Command, IMO, tends to do the same. It looks for a glitch, if it can't find one, it "creates one so it has something to fix"....
Rebooting In-Command typically "fixes nearly everything the system is failing to do".....
