Did you plug in the cord from the Onan to the receptacle?

Those are 12 volt fuses and have nothing to do with the Onan.
Check your electrical breaker box to see if one is tripped or if there is a loose connection or wire inside the box.

If you have the same problem with shore power than its probably a loose connection of a tripped breaker.

IT WOULD REALLY HELP US HELP YOU IF YOU WOULD TELL US WHAT YEAR AND MODEL GMC YOU HAVE. Put it in your signature line.

If you discussed the problem with our guys(Nick, Gary, or myself) we could
have answered it for you.
If they could not, they would have our Onan tech answer it , or even have
contacted Migul at MGM-GMC to help you.
We are here to help as orders roll in automatically and they are there to
assist you as we are the Major supplier.
I would like to have you go to the lead wires at the switch when running to
see if your getting 120V AC.
If not then we would show you where the Bridge rectifier is and show you
how to replace.
We give out tremendous information to anyone that calls.
I personally feel degraded when they start out by telling me how many
thousand s of dollars they have spent.
My immediate cut off to the statement is, "whats your question, or how can
we help you."
When I fly on an airlines, I never tell them how often I fly on South
West, or do you, before I ask for another drink or snack.

Assuming your coach is a GMC up-fit, (Emery's point well taken) the FIRST thing you should check is whether the cord is plugged into the big outlet in the cord storage compartment above the left rear wheels. If it is, the second thing would be to make sure the main circuit breaker in the 110 volt panel is in the ON position. If you have bypassed the Onan circuit breaker, then that is out of the picture.

Just FYI Royales and probably a few other uplifted Transmodes do not use that system. Their Onans are hard wired to the coach and use an either/or breaker system. Which brings up my next point. If you have a Royale, make sure the Onan breaker is on, not the shore power breaker.
