HELP! Odd Electrical Issue (AC and Radio)

2008 Keystone Sprinter 242RKS. Here's the sequence of events (all while sprucing her up in front of the house):

- replaced the outside speakers
- turned on the radio (checked out fine)
- turned off the radio
- brought out and started my generator (3000 watt)
- hooked Sprinter up to generator
- turned on AC (checked out fine)
- turned off AC
- tried to turn on radio; screen was lit, but no display
- checked fuses and breakers (all seem good)
- tried to turn on AC (got nothing)
- tried again with radio (at this point, screen is no longer lit)
- checked out microwave and all AC (power) outlets (all good)
- disconnected generator (lights and slide still work)

SO, now I've got no radio, no air conditioning and no idea what to try next. Help!

Something is loose or blown. Double check everything. 12 volt lights working? Don't know anything about generators but would plug into house power to check things out.

Yep, as it turns out the problem was me! I had taken the battery off to charge it from the generator, and while it was off I replaced one of the battery cables. And like a dummy when I reconnected it I hooked it up backwards. Blew both of the reverse power fuses. Replaced those and the AC worked again. I had to pull the stereo system out and replace the inline fuse behind it, too. $7 in fuses, and all is good again.
