Generator not sending power inside. PLEASE HELP!!

Do you have a transfer switch or do you have to plug your shore plug into the generator for power?

Double check. I was in hurry to beat traffic one time and folded up the cord to plug in later. Couldn't get any power when at boondock campground, went nuts trying to find problem for no elec. Then remembered after checking breakers and breaker on genny itself etc. OH ya now I remember, I stuffed the cord in and didn't plug it in.
