Hmm...cycle the breakers in the breaker panel. If no lights or fans then
buzz box / inverter should be looked at. No outlets....Has to be a breaker
issue.

Those items all run off 12Vdc. So your power convertor is not working and house battery is dead, or you have power issues to your 12Vdc fuse

Lighting and fans are pretty much all 12v. Be sure all the breakers are on and the 12v 'converter' (a simple or somewhat sophisticated 12 volt power
supply)is producing voltage at its output. Then have a look at the 12v fuse panel and see if maybe some are missing or blown. Report back.

You say the receptacles are dead? but the genset runs? Check the breakers again. One of the two on top may be tripped. Or there may be a loose
connection in the breaker box. Please to unpower the coach before opening that box.

Lights and roof vents are 12 volt, receptacles are 110 but since we don't know which coach or year you have it could be something as simple as a
breaker needing flipped or shore power cord plugged in to coach. On some coaches with 2 roof A/Cs one runs off the generator and the other off shore
power. You need to tell us more, guessing won't work.

[ok 76 Eleganza. Converter not working or getting power. Bad breaker or connection at fuse box.

I had it plugged in to shore power (50 amp) a few days ago and everything worked fine. Just got ONAN running yesterday and found that only AC ran.
Nothing else working.

Breakers are "on" and appear to be good. No fuses blown. Inverter has power to it.

Sounds like its possibly the way the generator connector is wired into the fuse box....perhaps its set up to only run the A/C?

I'm a newbie to this type of rv. Is it an inverter or a converter? I checked the receptacles and I do have power to them and the AC unit, with
generator running. Lights and Refrigerator do not come on with generator running. Lights, receptacles and refrigerator all work with rv being plugged
in to shore power. Do the lights and refrigerator go through the inverter/converter?

I've got one of these:
Progressive Dynamics PD9260CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series Converter/Charger with Charge Wizard - 60 Amp
It's a battery maintainer and 12V supply.

Can the converter be bad to where it would work fine on shore power but not work from generator?
Sort of. The original Triad buzz box converter was somewhat particular about 60Hz frequency due a resonance circuit. If your gen is running too fast
or too slow it could be an issue.
Also with gen off, open the 14-50R receptacle box in the cable cubby. You should have a jumper wire between the L1 and L2 connections so both sides
get 120V power.
Breaker for Onan is on top of unit.

I wouldn't think so.. The shore power works everything but when you plug the shore power cord into the generator receptical in the cord door only
part of the stuff works? Is there any chance your PO did what mine did and added another plug in the power cord hole for an inverter to supply
110volts off the batteries? It bought has to be a loose wire connection from the gen plug to the circuit breaker box or something loose in the box.

Yes ,everything works on shore power. On generator, only AC and receptacles work. No power to lights or refrigerator.
I do not see another plug in the cord box.

The lights and fridge work off 12 volts ever the propane fridge needs 12volts for the controls and should work without being plugged in or generator
working.
When the generator or plugged in the Outlets work so the converter is plugged in an outlet so you have 12 volts if the outlet the converter is
plugged in to has 110 volts. Somewhere battery voltage is not getting to fuses. Is the fridge propane or all electric? What kind of converter do
you have? A picture would certainly help. You can go to the top of the forum home page and post a picture using the first "sticky" post. It can be
tricky as you have to follow directions exactly or maybe just tricky for me as it took me 10 years to get er done. Or you can go to photo sire and
register and create albums then you can go to address bar and copy and paste here. http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/
I'm still thinking you have a loose or dirty connection somewhere. Physically pull on the connections. I had a friend call and say " it won't start.
I checked the connections and they are tight." I say "pull on them".

Your issue should be with your house battery, not your engine cranking battery. For the heck of it hold down the battery boost switch on dash and see
if stuff works. Since you have a GMC outfitted Palm Beach switch sho7ld be spring loaded and have to hold it to check stuff. Grandkids or wives are
good for this.

Not at all likely, Samuel. The converter/charger is simply plugged into a =
120vac outlet in your coach and the output is connected directly to your 12=
vdc house battery bank. If you have a GMC finished coach the shore power c=
ord has to be plugged into the generator output receptacle which is located=
just inside the rectangular utility door on the drivers side. You just mo=
ve the shore power cord male to either the shore power pole plug or this ge=
nerator output plug to get 120vac from one source or the other. If you are=
getting 120vac into the coach when plugged into shore power, and if you ha=
ve 120vac present at the generator output receptacle when the generator is =
running, then you will have 120vac inside the coach from that source as wel=
l. The converter doesn=E2=80=99t know the difference. There is a circuit =
breaker on the top of the generator that may be bad or tripped. Use a mult=
