No shore power

Power was off at csmpground for couple days. Came back on but i still have no power in the 5th wheel when plugged in. None of the breakers were tripped and there is power to the outside box. Power is fine on the generator but no power when plugged in to shore. Ive checked everything i know about. What am i missing?

    I have a Power Control system. Dont know how to bypass. Looks like i'll need to bring in a technician. I think i've exhausted all of my capabilities on this one.

    Do you have a surge protector or an EMS system in your camper? If so, maybe it tripped, or maybe it blew completely. If you have one, can you reset it, or by-pass it somehow? See if that gets your power back.

    Main cord and generator power both enter a box containing a relay.
    One cord exits toward your main breaker panel.
    Should be located near the generator or behind the breaker panel or some other utility access compartment.

    You stated " Power is fine on the generator but no power when plugged in to shore"

    Transfer switch 'stuck' on generator side and NOT swapping back to shore power side when

    OK, then it has to be a breaker that you missed somewhere....or....if there was a power surge before it went out, possibly it burned out your converter. Hopefully not.

    Try flipping off and then back on every breaker you can find....
