Ok this thread is changing direction. Is it O.K. to continue as a lot has been revealed to me? I will explain! If I need to start a new thread let me know!
I just talked to the owner again and got some new information, he bought it off the son of a husband and wife who have since passed away. Son knew nothing about it. So basically the new owner knows less.
So the problem may have been solved but I am not sure at this point. According to the owner he was instructed to never connect shore power and run gensat at the same time. To me that means that they eliminated the Transfer switch and are running them side by side. Does this make sense? Am I barking up the wrong tree? It is raining cats and dogs here so I wont be able to test til tomorrow or Sat., is this probable? Also...Would having shore power connected affect a "shut down" gensat?
Edit: So..."Yes, it shows the 30 amp main transfer box and I would replace it." Doug is this what you mean? Should I reinstall it?
From your Pics, there is a 30 amp receptacle in one of your compartments, probably same compartment your Shore cord is in. I believe, they BYPASSED the 30 amp transfer box under the refer, because it probably malfunctioned and wired that 30 amp female receptacle in that compartment. When older units had NO transfer box, they installed that 30 amp receptacle and when you wanted Genset Power you just plugged the Shore Cord into that receptacle. The Rear AC runs direct from the 2nd 120 breaker on your Genset. If you download that Service Manual I sent you the link too, the LAST page shows your 120 electrical schematic. Doug
