Well, it was bound to happen eventually and I did it-   plugged in the land power cord for a split second when the breaker was in the off position.  Not having any luck so far finding a replacement.  Can anyone tell me where to call and what to ask for?

Unless the PO made some very strange modifications, I can think of absolutely no reason that anything has to be done to change from gen set power to grid power.  You plug the cord plug into the gen set socket in the coach and start the gen set, and get power.  You plug the same cord set into grid power and it should work the same.  There is no reason for a circuit breaker to be switched at all.

Again, who knows what a PO has done.  But the original wiring would not cause any issues if the cord/plug was switched from one to the other.  You may have to have someone with good electrical knowledge look to see what is going on in your coach, and hopefully change it back to the original configuration.

All anyone can do here is guess at what modifications were done.  That is not good enough.
