Otherwise you have an open circuit. Most likely at the generator, transfer switch or main panel. Voltage detector should pin-point this in about 15 minutes if easy access.
That's what I thought until he said he had a live RV ac plug when the generator is running. Sure sounds like a miswired transfer switch as others have suggested.
Still an open circuit to the outlet not getting power.
Miswired TS would seem to leave one main without power(assuming 50a RV). Again easy to discover with a voltage detector.
OP said he had some electrical knowledge so he may as well find the issue before rewiring anything.
Probably easier to just fix than take it in for warranty work.
At least find where the issue is so he can direct the repair guy to the right area. Last thing I want is the new lot kid pulling apart my new RV to find something simple.
/\ This... sometimes, since the owner is a licensed electrician and has the knowledge, it's just flat out better to go by the golden rule. If you want something done right, you'd better do it yourself, to your standards.
Warranty work at a dealership can always be questionable. Hopefully, work you do yourself should not be questionable.
