This may be easier than you think.
Do you have a breaker box close by the inverter?
Whether you have a breaker box or not, the concept is simple, and Newell kept it simple.
There will be a 120V Romex line from the breaker box in the closet that feeds the inverter.
There will be a 120V Romex line leaving the inverter that feeds all the 120V circuits powered by the inverter. If you have the breaker box mentioned above, that one should be easy to find.
The one from the breaker box in the closet should be close to the inverter location.
If you see two unidentified Romex lines. Plug the coach into shore power, look for the inverter breaker in the closet box, turn it on, use a voltmeter to see which of the two unidentified lines in the inverter bay is hot.
No need to try to figure out shore power vs generator. That is taken care in the automatic transfer switch that feeds the breaker panel in the closet. That all happens before the inverter gets involved.
