Onan 4000 Starts great then quits....
I have an Onan 4000 generator in a 1994 Winnebago Brave 27RC. The generator was starting and running great until last week. I do have to manually move the butterfly valve on the carb to manually choke...

They do shut down if the relay switch does not engage.
10 seconds is about the time for the go, no go on the switch engaging. It may be stuck in the shore power position.
If you can find the automatic relay switch. Sometimes it is hidden behind the circuit breaker panel. give it a couple of good raps with a rubber mallet (hammer if you do not have a mallet). Start genny see if that cures problem.
I have had to move the butterfly on mine for 2 years now but only sometimes.
