Calss C motorhome - On board ONAN generator
I am a new inexperienced RV'r and need advice please. Can I start the onboard generator (Onan) while still hooked up to the 110v land power? The RV is a 2003 Holiday Rambler Atlantis. Appreciate...

Yes you can. One of two things will happen:
1. If your Atlantis has an Automatic Transfer Switch, after several seconds, the ATS will switch your electrical load From Pedestal TO Generator.
2. Nothing. If there's no ATS, there's a receptacle LIKE a campground pedestal has, on you RV, probably in the shore tie cable storage area. By starting the generator, you create your own "pedestal" that you plug yourself (the shore tie cable) into. THEN the generator takes on your electrical load.
