No Power in Coach
Hello Monaco owners, I have a slight emergency and look forward to some support.
When connected to 30 AMP shore power, we experienced a loss of all lights and most power outlets. The first time it happened, I shut off the shore power breaker, and started the generator. Within a few minutes the Intelletec indicated normal operation. After 30 minutes of running the gen, I shut it down, flipped the shore power breaker back on and all systems were normal. Tonight, it happened again, but when the generator running the Intelletec stays dark, and no power to lights etc... I use a Progressive surge protector, and have never experienced anything like this before.
Suggestions and feedback appreciated, thank you.

What model/year coach do you have?
First thing I'd look at would be the transfer switch.
Need to find it and check. Unplug all power and disable generator from starting. Pull the cover and look for burnt contacts.

You should hear a click when you plug into shore power, follow the sound and you should locate transfer switch.

It is likely mounted on the wall or ceiling in or adjacent to the compartment where your power cord enters your coach.
Also, you said you lose outlets AND lights. That's interesting. The outlets would be affected by the transfer switch. The lights should all be 12V DC. Aside from the fact that the batteries are charged from the shore power or generator supply, those two systems are nearly independent of one another.
(You replied that you have an '07 Camelot. That's great! Nice coach! But, you might want to put your coach make, year and model in your "signature" on your profile. That way you won't have to answer questions for those hoping to be able to help you.)

I have taped over my salesman switch. I discovered it will disable my driver and passenger seats power.

Congrats on the find, hard to believe one switch can cause so much turmoil.

So what does having 30 amp shoreline cause the issue? Coincidence?

Ha...No. I have people who flip the switch and disable everything. Then when you flip it back you have to reset the clock on the microwave.
I had the coach in for service and the dealer flipped the switch to off. Driving home I couldn't adjust the power seat.
Got home and started troubleshooting why my power seat didn't work and discovered the salesman switch shuts off power to my seats.
So now my switch is taped to the on position. Don't touch it!!
