Generator not powering coach

Hello all. So, I did a stupid thing and I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction to fix it. I have a 2004 26' RSB with a 40G Generac quiet pack. In the stair well is a switch that says "Stop engine before switching off". Needless to say I switched it off with the engine running. (don't ask why because I have no excuse other than being an idot!) Now the generator runs, but doesn't do anything. I'm so mad because everything was working fine before. I think I blew the transfer switch, but I was wondering if maybe it's something simpler that I could fix. All the fuses seem to be ok. the inverter seems ok as far as I can tell. There is a reset there on the inveter that doesn't appear to be resetting, not sure. Everything works on shore power.
I'm in Mass and J & D Power in NH has 2-3 month backlog. TIA for any assistance :?

Check these two circuit breakers discussed in the Technical Library section on this forum. Click on the following link to go directly to it: viewtopic.php?t=4375

Thanks for the info Bill, both circuit breakers are on. And lucky me, there's no mystery reset under the sink, so I'm still in the same boat. I'm still thinking I blew the auto transfer, and that's out of my league. I wish it was something simple cause I'm having a hard time finding an RV generator repair place. Probably try the place in RI I saw mentioned.

For anyone interested, I did take the rv to J D Power in NH. They took the Gen out and had it all winter.
Long story short, it was the voltage regulator. They cleaned the slip rings and gave it a good tune up.
Runs great. Still cost me a $1000, but cheaper than a new one.
Thanks, Bob C.
