Last time I was in Texas (February) it was 14 degrees and the power was out everywhere! TEXAS! Assuming your power cord is not damaged there’s only a few likely culprits. If you have a surge protector try plugging in without it. If not take a look at the automatic transfer switch. It’ll be a rectangular box at the coach end of the shore power cord. If you’re comfortable with this sort of work and WITH THE SHORE POWER CORD DISCONNECTED AND THE GENERATOR OFF remove the cover and check that all of the connections are tight and that nothing looks damaged or burned. Everything downstream of the ATS obviously is ok since it works on the generator and that device is where the two systems come together. It’s almost certainly the culprit. If you’re not comfortable with electrical work a mobile tech probably is in order. Good luck.
