AAron,
I hate sticking my 2 cents in where I might not know what I'm talking about, but here goes...

On our 78 Royal (Coachmen) center kitchen, I discovered a transfer switch mounted on the rear side of the plywood box that surrounds the Onan. This is inside the coach. I didn't know it was there for four years.

We were at a campground, and had lost all power to the coach. Finally traced the power from the pedestal to the coach and found the T switch, and the loose wires inside it. It was a pain to fix as we had to use a mirror to see in the T switch box because it's so close the the rear of the coach.

Obviously I don't know if you have looked there. I do know that Coachmen put the switches in a lot of their units.

On ours, the switch was/is wired with shore power being the primary source, and the Onan being secondary.

John
