GFIC plugs reset

OK I have heard the Thor Challenger as several GFIC trip plugs. I can only see ONE and that is in the mid bathroom on the Challenger 37LX. I have read where some have looked and found some in odd places but I am not finding any anywhere else Can anyone give me specific locations on the 2015 Challenger?
The Issue is we lost power to some outlets on the road. We also use to be able to run the generator while driving and give A/C to the MH and were its needed for those not sitting up front in the two seats. We started our RT OK with it but now we lost the power as said and the generator shows no response at the switch, no cracking/priming, no sound at all no lights just nothing so trying to find how to reset everything including the Generator while sitting in an RV park

Your Onan generator stater is powered by the house batteries. In that battery compartment there will be three 12 volt circuit breakers: 50 amp, 100 amp and 200 amp. The 100 amp powers the stater motor for the generator. Trip and reset that CB. You can look at the inverter's display and it will show the house batteries voltage. It should be above 11.0 volts for the generator to start.

The generator has two circuit breakers on the side that supply power to the transfer switch. If you get the generator started that would the circuit breakers, I would check

the easiest way to 'know' if you have more than a single GFCI circuit is to simply read the labels on your Breaker Panel - they will say 'GFCI' if so. You may only have one, don't go on what you 'hear'...

a generator starts from the HOUSE batteries, and provides them Charging while running, IF the generator's own breaker on the unit itself are not tripped.
