Also, there is only one 'primary' 30amp breaker on your generator, but it controls BOTH 30amp sides of power - it's just a single handle instead of two, since, of course, it's also ONLY 120v power for each side. If one trips, the other does, too, but a flip of the primary breaker resets both at the same time.
You may be right, and if it is a dual winding in-phase generator like you described it really does not change this thread's discussion. But Kohler made two models of RV 7000 watt generators:

The 7CM21 which produced 120 VAC at 58 amps through a single 60 amp circuit breaker and a two-wire connection, and

The 7CM61 which produced 120/240 VAC at 26 amps per terminal through dual ganged 30 amp circuit breakers and a 3 wire connection.

Since the OP said his breaker on the generator is labeled "30 amp" I suspect he has the latter.
