Generator runs but no power to ac or micro

I know I've read on this but I can't search it very effectively I guess. I've spent 30 minutes and can't find it. The Genny fired and started the micro (dinner time) and then the micro stopped. Genny still running. Breaker is OK. Toggled it twice. But I recall something about a reset button in the battery control panel in the stair well of the Solera 24 MBZ model. Anybody have the answer?

If you have an Automatic Transfer switch it may be stuck in the shore power position.
if that is the case, the GENSet would run, but not provide any power to the camper.

Did you check the circuit breaker on the generator itself, it may have tripped. What I would do is disconnect from shore power, start the generator and listen for the transfer switch to engage. After it reads power in from the generator it should trip the transfer switch. If you do not hear the tranfer switch engage, check the breaker on the generator itself.

Yup yup yup. It was the circuit breaker at the gennie. I read the manual but it doesn't have a picture. So I've attached one here. It's down on the left side of the starter switch box. A little black toggle. It was popped backward and I reset it forward and voila. The micro works! But we had salad for dinner. Thanks for the help. You guys rock!!!
