I started the generator with AC power still attached to the coach when I was exercising it.

Apparently I either forgot or never read this is a no-no.

What have I likely destroyed?   Nephew says the generator is running but wasn't putting out AC to the coach.   He thinks the control board is shot.

95 Bounder   Onan Marquis 7.5K generator.

ETA shore power works fine, at least lights, Air Conditioner and outside receptacles all function as normal.

I would imagine it tripped a reset switch. Most are protected but it still isn't nice to do.

Check the breaker.

My generator setup, it is impossible to backfeed - you have to physically unplug the shore power line and plug it into the Generator output receptacle.  Yours should have some way of accomplishing the same thing.
