I live in a mobile home with a Coleman Evcon A/C the night before last we had a bad storm and the electricity went off a few times. It was cool enough that I did not even notice it wasn't working until yesterday afternoon. I have checked the breaker and that is not it. I had a similar furnace/AC in another mobile home, same thing happened a couple of times and then a repairman showed me where the reset button was. How can I find the reset button or even the model number.

I don't think a reset button is your answer here. One winter my furnace would not come on after a power outage. It was the contactor that went bad. You have to figure that after any kind of power outage there probably was a bit of a surge before the actual outage that fried whatever low wattage component in your a/c unit. Happens all the time after power outages. I had my central a/c in Florida do the same thing after a storm with a power outage. It was usually the relay switch that went. After one particularly nasty storm in the summer the entire a/c unit had to be replaced due to the unit being "fried" by the spike in electricity. The key to answering your question was the fact that the electricity went off and on at which time an electrical spike went through your system.
