If the generator starts and will continue to run after the start button is released, there is usually nothing wrong with the generator.

There is a transfer switch (relay)that is in line with the shore power or generator power. Yes if you are dry docked and the generator is running it should have AC power to the coach. see if you can locate a place at or near the generator to measure voltage, then move forward to the transfer switch and then to the breaker panel. BE CAREFUL.

There should be a breaker on the genset. As MWrench mentioned, there's a transfer switch, usually defaulting to the generator.

A generator produces power by rotating an energized ("excited") armature (Rotor) inside the static coils (Stator). Output is from the stator. Rotor excitation is provided by slip rings.
