Some older rigs you just had two power cord input boxes and simply switched from one power source to another.

If it doesn't have a ATS, it will have an outlet in the compartment where the shore cord resides. You plug your shore cord into this outlet for gen power.

Receptacle is 'Generator Output'
Plug the RV Shore Power Cord into it so Gen supplies the AC Power to RV
Otherwise......ATS (automatic transfer switch)
Metal box that shore power cord goes to, generator power line goes to and then wiring from ATS goes to RV Main Power Panel
Follow the power cord or generator power cord.....
