Generator not providing house power

2016 Georgetown 30x3. When plugged into shore power, I have electricity. All breakers under be look good. Generator runs fine, breaker on generator on position . When I try to power from generator I have no power to house. Can someone point me in a direction from generator to house plug? Is there another breaker or fuse?

I'm not familiar with your GT and don't know if ant GT's have it but in your power cable bay is there a receptacle to plug the shore cable into for the genny to power the coach?

So, is this applicable or does your unit have an ATS (automatic transfer switch)?

Look on genny there is a breaker like you have on your home reset it. If and when you find pust it the other way it is there look for it.

What make and model of generator do you have?

BTW, did you work for Aerojet? I used to work for GenCorp and have been to Sacramento for Six Sigma training. At the end of the last century.

Do the same with the main 30 or 50 amp breaker inside the coach. Turn it fully off then fully on again. But if you did trip a breaker and it keeps tripping, then investigate further.

No Power From Generator

It is probably something very simple.
But not sure if you have Auto Transfer Switch Or Not!
Are you sure your switches are on by the door for power to the coach and the Inverter. Somebody a lot smarter than I will have you an answer shortly. Was it working before this happened? How long ago?
Good Luck
