Very likely this RV uses the ONAN MicroQuiet 4000 genset, which has a generator-mounted Start/Stop switch, along with a master circuit breaker right next to it. The coach builder no doubt put a remote Start/Stop panel inside as well.
First, make sure the Coach/House Battery (not the one that starts the Road Engine) is There, that it's Charged, Connected, and Turned ON. Then if genny won't crank from inside, see if it'll crank from the switch on the genny itself.
Circuit Breaker won't keep it from cranking, but might figure in if you get it started but don't have power to the coach's outlets.
If you in fact get it running, next step is to find out how the coach gets powered from the genny. Many have an Auto Transfer Switch (ATS) but others have an outlet powered by the generator that you must plug your shore tie cable into.
