We tried while plugged into shore power and while the generator was running. AC works on both. (AC only works on 120) Lights are brighter while plugged in. DH used his handy dandy multimeter. Power is coming in and going out on the circuit breakers.
so.... why are the 3 120 power outlets not working? What else are we missing?
I take this to mean that while you are plugged into shore power or the generator is running the AC outlets work just fine. Unless you are plugged into shore power or the generator is running, the only way you can possibly get 120v power to the AC outlets is to have them on an inverter. Very few RV's have the outlets on an inverter. My guess is the outlets are dead because they have no shore power, no generator, and no inverter. They are dead because they are supposed to be dead.
