The first thing to check is the generator itself.. Most generators (All of them in fact) have Circuit breakers.. Now you did not mention the genny you have but ONAN uses a 2-state breaker/switch ON and Off/Tripped.. not a 3-stat like a Square D (ON-Tripped-OFF) so unless you can read the word ON or OFF which is on the moving part of the breaker either side of the lever.. You don't know (it can be hard to read. Especially if the breaker is hard to find in the 1st place)
From there there are basically two places they put em.
ONE is the most logical space.. Visualize the wire paths from the Generator to the primary power distrubution panel and from the shore inlet to the same place.> Where they cross BINGO
The other is the LEAST logical place For example on one Class the switch was at eye level. standing. in a cupboard at the very REAR (on the rear wall in fact) of the rig.. . (however as I recall on that righ the primary power distribution panel was there as well)
