OK...I'm not following the last part well. Let's start with the question of, does everything work when plugged into 50A shore power? If not, that is probably a separate issue from the Generator.
Next, how do you know that there is no power out of the generator? Are you testing multiple outlets through out the coach to see if you have 110?
Finally...for now...what model generator do you have?
With those questions out of the way...
The first thing I would start with is checking the breaker(s) on the generator. Typically an Onan QD 7500 has a double poll breaker with 30 or 35 amps on each poll. Make sure those are not off or have been "popped".
If all circuits work properly when on shore power and you have verified the generators breakers are "on" the most likely next place to check is at the automatic transfer switch. I haven't had the need to actually look inside my ATS so I won't try to talk you through where to test but you should fairly easily be able to identify the inputs from the shore and generator once you open the case. With out being connected to shore power but with the generator running you will want to test the input side to see if you have voltage and then the output side. If the input is "hot" and the output is "not" then the ATS is your most likely culprit. If both sides are cold then you are looking at a generator issue.
There is a slight chance the generator's breakers are bad but I wouldn't give that any serious thought until you have checked everything else out. The other thing could be bad connections to the ATS so with all power off you can double check the screws on the terminals.
This is pretty basic and there is always the possibility it is something that eludes by basic understanding of wire and circuit testing but I think this is a reasonable start.
Good Luck!
