Question fridge, tc, fireplace working with generator but no electrical outlets

2017 Coachmen Mirada - Onan Generator - with generator on - all applicances are working but not a single electrical outlet - I know it is probably something as simple as a switch somewhere but we haven't been able to figure it out.

Any advice would be great.

What appliances are working? Your fridge could be working on propane or 12 volt if it’s a newer model. The furnace works on propane with a little help from 12 volts. Water heater could be propane.

What’s not working beside some outlets?

Are your breaker switches labeled in your power panel?

I would think that a 2017 motorhome would have a residential fridge or a 2-way fridge since 12v only fridges didn't become a thing until around 2020.

Have you reset the GFCI outlets that are usually in the bathroom and/or kitchen?

thanks to "kenandterry" for the advice on "finding the breaker switch on the lower right side of your generator? It’s kind of hidden, but it’s in the lower right area, that controls providing electricity to outlets" We did manage t find the switch and now all our outlets work.

Thanks so much.
