No AC power when connected to shore power.

I didn't realize that I originally had this posted in the wrong forum and the topic was closed. Sorry.

I have had our motorhome plugged into shore
power in my driveway, as always, but this morning I went out there and my house batteries were dead and there is no 110 volt power to any of the outlets.
I started the generator, and the batteries are charging and all the 12 volt times are working, as well as the 110 volt heat pump, but there is no power to any of the 110 volt outlets.
I have it plugged into a standard 220 volt 50 amp, grounded outlet, and I have confirmed that I have power going into the shore power cord.

Any thoughts as what I should check next?

Thanks

Thanks for the input that I did receive. So far I have already checked all the connections in my house and the outlet to the shore power connection. The problem definitely is in the motorhome.

I have checked the reset on the converter/inverter, and all the breakers. I suspect that the converter has gone bad.

Converter has nothing to do with it.

The converter would not block 120V power from the motorhome circuits. Given that the generator works and the outlet you're plugging into is live, it pretty much has to be something with the shore power cord or transfer switch or some connections between them. If you have an EMS such as a PI unit, check it also for error codes etc.; often they're wired to only be active on the shore power but not the generator.
