When you checked for incoming power to the transfer switch from the genset, did you read two legs of 120 volts to the neutral from the genset?
Did you check for two legs of 120 volts leaving the transfer switch going to the 120 volt distribution panel?
What is make and model of genset. Is it 120/240 or two legs of 120?
Does the rig have an energy management system?
Generator is a Onan 8KW.
It's two legs of 120. Tested both legs coming in from genset and it's good. Nothing coming out to panel. This was happening both with the old, and now new transfer switch.
Coach does have a energy management system and it shows no power to the coach unless it's hooked up to shore power.
Weird thing is that after not working on the genset, he will drive the coach, park, and fire the genset and it will work for a period of time and then quit producing power. Again, all breakers are good and haven't tripped.
