You are saying that the converter reaches proper voltage when running off the generator but not shore power?
Ok, that is , in a word, ODD since generator power and shore power are a lot alike (Unless of course the generator is charging the batteries itself, most RV only the main engine (Motor homes only) and the converter can charge the batteries, the gen-set does not have that ability, it relies on the converter, HOwever I'm sure (in fact I know) there are exceptions)
Now... If that is the case check for 120vac to the converter when on shore power.. If your unit is a plug in, just un plug it and plug in the largest lamp or floodlight you have on hand (in my case I think that is 150 or 300 watts, w/o looking I'm not sure, have not used it in some time)
