Ok, Q & A time.. are you plugged into 50 or 30 amps? IF fifty have you checked the breakers feeding the outlet? ... If 30 then do you have any 120vac, if no check breaker at park outlet. In fact that is my Number one suspect. (I"m on 30 just now and wife has Eva Gabor syndrome, can not remember the power limits.

Now, assuming the breaker and outelt are good, move to the RV end of the power cord, If this is a Marineco twist lock, it's hard to measure voltage unless you ave a very long probe but check for voltages there.. On 30 amps there are two "HOT" and 2 "Neutral/Ground" wires. so you will have two pakr showing zero volts and the other ways you pair them should show 120vac On 50 amp, one pair no voltage, one pair 240 and all 4 other pairings will give 120 volts.. THe metal "Band" on the outside of hte plug is the ground.

I had a marnieco come off in my hand.

Now move to the transfer switch, if you have one.. Measure voltage in and out.

And finally the master breaker box.. I'm fond of saying many RVers have a few screws loose.. A couple of my circuit breakers I turned that screw over 2 turns before it became tight.. Now that's one loose screw.

This all happened while running gen in a parking lot...we were not plugged in to anything. Is it possible that a breaker at the gen would cause this?

Did you check the breakers on the side of the generator? Could also be a failing transfer switch. Did you find your main breaker panel? Our 2008 Damon has it in the bedroom, near the floor at the bottom of the wardrobe. Battery charger and inverter are in the compartment just below that, accessable from outside.
