Without knowing what kind of RV you have, we'd just be shooting in the dark but if it's a Class A, I've only heard of Gensets being powered by the onboard batteries, either the house or chassis set and usually the chassis. So if you've disconnected both the house and chassis battery negatives, you'll not get an arc.
That's not to say a previous owner (you don't mention an age of your RV either) didn't install a separate battery just for the genset for boondocking reasons.
However, if you were still plugged into shore power, then yeah, you'll probably get an arc from something in there.
