What Mr Wizard states is TRUE. But not for the reason he stated. You ALWAYS disconnect Shore Power before starting the Genset AND turn off the Interior MAIN Breaker/s. You NEVER Transfer with a LOAD. This prevents arc'ing of the Transfer relay points, which causes wear and premature failure. Read posts from people that state they have multiple failures of Transfer boxes. Caused by transferring under load. You also Turne Loads OFF when turning the Genset OFF. Some Transfer boxes close a relay when connecting either Shore or Genset. Some, the Shore relay stays closed. Unless you know for sure which style you have always have NO LOAD when engaging various Power supplies. Doug
