A toy hauler generator will or should have priority for fuel level over the fuel station. But most haulers seem to have the fuel tank near the rear of the hauler and the generator up front, so some significant distance for the fuel line to run. That's a good distance for a fuel pump suck or push fuel to.
Knowing about the problems that have talked about over the years with fuel tanks and generators I can see some having a problem running while traveling.
As to the cause, wow, lots of things. Where is the fuel line pulling from, is sloshing fuel letting air get sucked into the line? Is there debris in the tank that's getting in the carb? Wouldn't take much for the carb to run dry and shut down. I have no idea how you trouble shoot that if the generator only shuts down while in motion.
