Transfer Switch

Does anyone know where the transfer switch is located in a 2012 Four Winds 28A?
  • Often it's attached to the back of the electrical distribution panel, or at least in that general area. That's just general info, not specific to your model.

    You might be able to suss it out by listening for it clicking over to the generator (or back to shore power).
  • Or you may not have one. Not all units equipped with a generator have a transfer switch, some are hard wired into the fuse panel with a flip flop breaker setup, some you have to plug the shore power cord into a generator output plug. If there is one it is usually near the distribution panel ( fuse panel )
  • Thank you for all of the replies. Mandalay, I did call the factory and they told me to look where the shore power is stored or in my rear storage. I did not see it in either place. I have been trying to find it very frustrating, there should be a diagram some place.

    Thanks again!
  • Is there a receptacle where the shore cord is stored and will that cord plug into it ? If so that is your transfer, just plug that shore cord in that receptacle when you want power up your mh with the generator.
