yes, and I've advocated for the manufacturers or Onan to provide some type of notification if the generator breaker trips, either a light, and audible alert, or something.
You can be having just a fine time with the generator running and everything working, when suddenly the air conditioner or other things stop working, but the generator continues running. Exasperating, to say the least...and while some of us have had experience with this, and 'know' the deal, if it hasn't happened in a long while, it can still be an aggravating time trying to run down the problem.

Add to the problem that any generator is going to accessed from the outside, and while some of us with front mounted generators have an easier access to the breakers than others, it's a little annoying to have to find your barrel key, go outside in the rain, hope you can see/find the two barrel key locks, remember which 'way' to turn the key(!), and find the cargo light switch(if you even remember where the light is actually mounted(!)), just to be able to see the breaker and flip it back on.
Of course, all this is also predicated on remembering to FIRST switch OFF the thing(s) in the coach that caused the breaker to trip in the first place(!), otherwise, you could be out doing this again in a matter of minutes. : /

I'd like to see also a manufacturer design a way to access/flip the generator breaker back on from WITHIN the coach...
...Send me the royalties when you patent that, too. : )
