Question Electrical problem

We have a 2021 Montana 3813 legacy. On our last camp out we experienced a loss of electricity between 12 midnight and 4 am. No breakers were thrown on the outside or inside of the camper. We had no electricity inside the camper. Except for the closet that holds the washer combo and 2 wine cellars. They had electricity. We turned on the generator and ran it for 2 minutes. After we turned it off, the electricity was back. This happened 4 nights in a row. Any suggestions?

When you say you lost electricity, did you mean everything? Lights? Outlets?
Please explain further...

There have been a lot of reports of bad transfer switches. Maybe turning on the generator and then back off cause the transfer switch to start working again. Temporarily.
