On a 30 amp RV it is commone for the Generator to have two breakers..
When ONe of them is 20 amp.. THis breaker feeds the A/C only (or the rear A/C if you have two) the other breaker feeds the rest of the house.
If Microwave is dead, Fridge Switched to gas.. That breaker is suspect #1
On RV's with Inverters.. There is a "Sub panel" this panel may be part of the inverter.. Often installed so it is hard to see. The breakers are usually PUSH BUTTON (push to reset)
or it may be a second breaker box/panel as it is in my rig with standard breakers in it (Square D style).
When on shore power the breaker for the A/C in the panel is switched by the Auto Transfer switch so IT supplies power to the generator which then feeds the A/C (This is per Intella-power's 30 amp diagram)
When running Genny the Generator feeds the ATS un-protected power whcih is then returnd to the A/C via the 20 amp breaker on the Genny.
Seems kind of Rube Goldburg to me but.. That's how they show it.
