AC not running off generator
Newbie owner of 2005 RB here.  My AC will run off shore power but not off the generator.  At first I thought I just hadn't let the gennie run for long enough, but just tried again after running for 10-15 minutes, and no luck.  I recently had the generator serviced.  Is there a breaker or something I should be checking?  Sorry if this has been covered in previous posts - I looked but didn't find anything on point. 

Thanks,
Drew

Do the 120-VAC outlets have power? Microwave?
If no, check the circuit breaker on the generator, if good, it's probably the transfer switch or worse, generator problems.

If the gennie starts up, and if it seems to be running strong, it suggests to me [1[ either the transfer relay is NOT switching the coach to gen power, or [2] that you need to reset the fuse in the gennie area..there's a switch mounted inside the gen compartment...just reset it. If it is the transfer relay, that's another issue.
Does everything 110 work inside the rig when the gennie is running, i.e. thru a plug in, not a 12v plug in? If so, it may be your AC unit...better minds w/more elc. can possibly take it from there.

I found the breaker on the generator and that did the trick. Thanks! Love this group.

We are late for a wedding and my wife is now ironing our kids (ringbearers) tuxes while we are stuck in traffic. Very timely advice.
