Clarke is certainly more familiar with Classics than I am but the early 90's model Newell's had a manual power transfer switch located above the driver's seat to change from shorepower to generator. This was typically near the generator start switch. Other Newell's, as Clarke pointed out, had an automatic transfer switch that will switch to shorepower automatically if the coach is plugged into AC, even if the generator is started. On those, when you turn off the power at the park's pedestal, the transfer switch will change over to the generator. If either type of transfer switch is not operating properly, you may not get power to the coach.
Another potential issue could be the breaker on the generator (at least it is located on the generator on the early 90's models). If this breaker trips, the generator will not provide power to the coach.
