As a test I also started everything back up on generator power, then turned off the generator. When the generator went out I noticed the whole coach was off and the inverter did not click back on.
Is this normal? I would have thought the inverter would have stayed on the power the fridge.

Was the inverter ON before power was lost? Or in your test?
Typically has an ATS (automatic transfer switch) in inverter, so it will run on shore power/genny when present and battery when power is lost. But I don’t expect it will turn itself on if t was off at the time,
With all power disconnected, turn on inverter and insure it powers the fridge. Then supply power from shore or genny. Inverter should show running on external power.
Disconnect shore or shut down genny, and fridge should continue to run from batteries.
