Generator runs fine. Starts up and runs easy. Only thing I noticed is it will make a lugging nose on and off. But not as bad as when the A/C's were working and first powered on.
Also everything works as it should when on the 30amp shore power. I have a 50amp system but the RV park we are at only has 30amp power. It's just when I plug the power cord back into the coach that the A'C's, TV's microwave etc won't work. Crazy thing is water pump, lights etc still work?
Also I have noticed that the guy that owned it before me installed a disconnect from the house batteries to the engine battery. That way when you toggle the switch you cannot start the vehicle, generator etc. Also is supposed to isolate the engine battery so that if the house batteries run down you can still start the Motorhome by switching off the disconnect. That also is not working. I can start generator or coach with the switch toggled I the protect position which to shouldn't be able to do.
I noticed that it started doing this when I installed new Trojan Deep 6 batteries. But we have been on a few trips since then with no issues. Just figured the switch was bad or something.
Yes all fuses inside the coach have been checked and all breakers flipped off and back on including the 2 on the RV Guardian Generator.
I'm stumped. Thanks for the help so far
