Not at all likely, Samuel. The converter/charger is simply plugged into a 120vac outlet in your coach and the output is connected directly to your 12vdc house battery bank. If you have a GMC finished coach the shore power cord has to be plugged into the generator output receptacle which is located just inside the rectangular utility door on the drivers side. You just move the shore power cord male to either the shore power pole plug or this generator output plug to get 120vac from one source or the other. If you are getting 120vac into the coach when plugged into shore power, and if you have 120vac present at the generator output receptacle when the generator is running, then you will have 120vac inside the coach from that source as well. The converter doesn’t know the difference. There is a circuit breaker on the top of the generator that may be bad or tripped. Use a multi-meter and make sure you see 120vac on both sides of that breaker while the generator is running. The generator output receptacle is connected directly to the output side of that circuit breaker.

Can the converter be bad to where it would work fine on shore power but not work from generator?
