Power
We are hooked up to power via a huge generator ( working in oil field). Our 2011 Montana Mountaineer Toyhauler has lost power.(Gen Set still running)
What can be causing this? Breaker not tripped.

Have you had power there before and suddenly lost it? Have you done anything that might affect it?
You will need to troubleshoot the power with a voltmeter starting at the generator outlet, then the power cord, then into the trailer until you find where power stops.

We have been hooked up here since February. It has happened 3 times since. Not tripping breaker just shuts power down. It the comes back on after as long as 30-40 minutes. Hubs unplugs the power, turns breakers off and on. Etc. With it getting into the 100's now even off a few minutes sure heats up the inside quickly

It will require testing for power when it is off to see where the power stops. Any thing else is just a guess. Make sure your power cord is plugged in securely both at the generator end and the trailer end.

If you're running 2 AC's is the generator (assuming OEM onboard gen) getting overloaded and protecting itself until it cools down? Resettable relay?

Some questions.
Do you have an EMS (energy management system) on your trailer?
Or surge protector?
Do you have onboard generator prep system with automatic transfer switch?
