That's interesting. How could I tell if that was the case?
Your RV may not have an auto Transfer switch.
The older style RVs usually had a plug (female receptacle) When you plug into shore power, the plug goes to the receptacle on the pedestal.
When you need the generator to power up the A/C and other outlets, the plug goes into the receptacle in the storage bay. If you don't plug the cord into the receptacle, the generator will run but will not connect (power up) This is how you test it.
Look in your electric bay or one of the others see if you can find something like this
Plug your shore cord into it to power the RV from the generator
