OK, I pulled up the manual on the generator and if you are getting airconditioning we can eliminate the Generator and pigtail.

Now you have reset the breakers and the GFCI? Not just "checked them visually" but actually turned them off and then back on? A tripped breaker can "look" on but be tripped "off."

Is the AC that "works" the front AC or the back AC? One might be on one leg of the 50 amp panel and the other on the other leg (the one that does not work). A photo of your breaker panel mght help me too.

OK, here is my understanding.

You have a 50 amp camper; not a 30 amp one.

one leg of your camper's 50 amp service is not getting power when on the generator but works fine on shore power.

All breakers have been checked and reset.

I would like to see a photo of your power center to help you better.
Are you SURE it is a 50 amp camper?

Plug on the shore cord looks like:
