Bought our new 3231ck home yesterday. We are currently running just 1 ac unit on30 amps, until we can get 50 amp service added to our home. We just tried lightning the stove, and we blew a fuse, would that make since since we are only running on 30?

You are on 30A service.
The AC unit probably draws 15A.
Your converter powers your 12v systems, furnace, RV fridge (if in propane mode), water heater (if in propane mode), lights, propane detector, radio etc.
When you press the igniter on the stove it takes 12vdc and boosts it to 10K volts to make the spark.
When it does this your converter may kick on and be enough to trip your breaker.

When you operated the lighter, you blew a 12 volt DC fuse. This will not affect your 120 volt AC power and won't matter being on 30 or 50 amp service. Sounds like there is a short in the lighter circuit. If a 120 volt breaker had tripped, then you would have a problem. And welcome to the forum.
