2004 Coachman Freedom main power?

I have a 2004 Coachman Freedom class C that can't get power to the AC or anything else inside. Generator runs and has run fine, so I'm looking for a main break for power other than the fuse box curcuit breaker area. All fuel are good and no breaker is showing the need for a reset. I've looked everywhere in and out for a main break of power from the generator. Any ideas or help on this is appreaciated.

Found it, it was covered in soot, and almost impossible to see.
All works great now, Thanks

The circuit breaker on the generator is underneath the fuse, on the side of the control panel thingy. It's a little lever or switch sticking out. Here's a reasonable picture found from a Google search (i.e. not my picture):

Haven't found anything but a little 5 amp fuse in the 2800 Onan generator area, see no breakers, but will get in the area real good this evening and look again. Started looking inside were the generator lines go in and see several what looks to be fuse links of some sort. I'll pull a pic of what I see if I can get it uploaded. Got to learn how to post a pic soon :(.
Thanks

There is an output breaker on the generator itself; check that. Some breakers don't look much or any different when they trip, so I would suggest flipping them off and on to reset even if they look OK.

If you don't have an automatic transfer switch, make sure the shore power cord is plugged into the socket for the generator which typically is located in the cord storage area. If you do have an automatic transfer switch, it may be misbehaving or broken. In any case, it's possible that there's a loose or broken connection between the generator and the electric panel, or a fault with the generator, though most RV generators would shut themselves down in the latter case.
