I think the opposite ! On mine the Shore power overrides the genny. If the switch in your home senses shore power it will use shore power.
My thought is to switch the fridge manually to propane/gas and then unplug the shore power. Conduct the a/c test then replug the shore power and put fridge back on automatic. Run the genny with just the fans running on the a/c for a little while just to make sure everything is functioning well on genny then load up each a/c one at a time. Check for surging of the genny after turning each one to a/c. I have a feeling the genny has not been used in a while.
ALL Transfer switches come with the APU as the controlling over ride. ON some Transfer switches you have a switch internally that you can change the option to Shore Power as control and the over ride. Some OEM's (very few less than 1%), will have the Shore Power as over ride. Doug
