Usually just listening closely will give you a rough idea where to look for problem. When you have the fan on and switch to cool, (with temperature turned down low obviously) do you hear any type of "moaning" sounds from AC unit, or see lights in RV dim slightly indicating that compressor is trying to engage? Is the breaker tripping when compressor tries to engage? Do you hear a "click" from AC unit when switched to cool? If none of that happens, then I'd start thinking thermostat, or compressor relay. Normally if it's a faulty capacitor, the compressor will try to engage but will make a "moaning sound" and usually trip the breaker due to excess current draw. Someone experience in electrical should be able to test relays etc, but whoever does work on it, should be aware that those capacitors, as well as hydro in general are very dangerous to work with. The ("zap",- Shock) that you can experience from a capacitor or hydro, can be fatal.

    But if the fan and A/C are now working and i have 12VDC down at the furnace, but the furnace will not come on...can the problem be at the control box up on top at the A/C unit?

Duo-therm Brisk air rv ac. With switch in any fan position the fan blows like it should. Move it to any of the ac positions and the fan switches to reverse direction. This cuts the air flow.

Disconnect ac from pwr source for few min and see if it reboots. If not the board or switches have issues. Even the harness wiring. U may need an rv tech or a repairbook

Dou Therm Brisk Air not running

Turn the ac off go up top the coach and remove the cover. Look for fan blockage, Wasp, mud dauber etc. Caution if it is wasps they will chase you off the end of your coach. Take some spray with you. If there is no blockage the fan motor is toast.
Thanks for using Fixya
