The portable has worked perfectly in the past unfortunately I only have one 4 prong plug that fits the generator so I had to switch between a 50amp 3prong for my welders and plasma cutter back to the 4prong 50a rv plug... and like I said in the first post the wires weren't in the correct spots. They are now and things aren't working the way they have in the past so I need to track down what may have fried or blown a fuse

The generator and the extension cord are a great place to start and I might find the problem but if they check out okay I'd like to be prepared on what I should check next rather than having to post yeah they checked out okay then wait for replies after that

I will also get some propane and make sure the onboard is working the way that it should but I mostly concerned about the shore plug and what could have fried.
 
Main power cord and RV generator are wired to your MAIN 50 amp transfer switch. Google 50 amp RV electrical system so you have a chance at understanding what you are looking at.
 
My take after reading all of this.........you should seek professional electrical assistance to diagnose and correct the issue.

Unless one is very knowledgeable about the system, connecting the portable generator could be dangerous. One should NEVER have 120 volts between white and green wires. Something is wired incorrectly.
