120VAC AC coming from your generator set is no difference than coming from the shore power connection. Only the 120VAC level may be different. You may also have a surge protector plugged in on the shore power side which may need reset or replaced. You will have a AC transfer switch also that selects either the 120VAC coming from the shore power connection or the generator. That may be bad as well...
Those are the only things I can think of that might be in your 120VAC circuit. We all thought for sure you was using the 50A to 30A adapter which is known to give symptoms like you was describing but you have rulled that out now... This is why everyone was asking twice about that.
Sometimes the GFCI breakers get tripped and cause strange thing to not work. You should have about three of those in the trailer usually where you might have a water source.. Kitchen Sink, Shower, and wash up area around the bedroom. Might check and see if one of those may needs reset.
I'm just plugging away here. Have never set foot inside a motorhome before haha.. Most everything is the same whether it is a RV trailer or motorhome...
