Generator question
Not sure where this pesky switch is on a midbath, but there is a usually hidden reset breaker that lets the genset put energy to the rig. In my IB, it's under the frig, to the right under the bottom draw...midbath owners, where is yours? At 05:53 AM 12/29/2017, you wrote:

   Hi Jaysbus ; There is no GFCI outlet like you might be used to in a house. All of the outlets in your motorhome are protected in the motorhome by one GFCI circuit breaker located in your power distribution panel.  The tripped GFCI is indicated (same as all circuit breakers) by the handle being halfway between off and on. To reset it you must turn it off firmly, then back on.
   Since you say the microwave isn't working, it doesn't go through the GFCI. it may be the generator's circuit breaker. I was under the impression that this part is located on the generator itself. Accessible through the flip up door. The 50 Amp breaker I believe Gini was referring to is to protect the battery box, and wiring. In a MB, that is located  behind a removable panel, in the back of the storage compartment under the refrigerator.  (That is just in front of the battery box.)  I hope this helps. RonB

Could also be caused by a bad transfer switch.
Troubleshooting electrical problems remotely is difficult.
