Re: generator
My generator would run but no 110 power to the coach. I exhausted everything I could try so took it to Camping World. When you look in the generator compartment there is an unpainted electrical junction box to the upper left. I didn't look in there because you need a very very short screwdriver to remove the cover. The connections inside that box had vibrated loose causing resistance and the wires burned themselves out. Simple fix but $175 - which I could have done myself. I also learned that if the generator runs then it is producing AC, because there is a switch that shuts the motor down if it not producing AC.
