What is this

Thanks Everybody : the previous owner did some intuitive jury rigging in the shore cord box, used a household light switch to switch from 'shore to gen' power. I like puzzles, this rig is like a single color jig-saw puzzle so far. He did the same 'light switch' thing ( under dashboard ) between the two fuel tanks too. If it works, no need to fix it.

The fuse/ breaker box looks in really good shape.

The only component I can see is a large Relay. So Transfer switch is my guess.

NOW. if you have an older converter some of them have a 12 volt transfer in them but I do not think this is it. This looks like a 120 volt 30 amp transfer relay.

Double Pole (I'm assuming double throw as well).

Found this post on the iRV2 forum... looks just like yours.

That is an automatic transfer switch and there are several available online for about $125. There are several sets of installation instruction online as well. Converting to a standard 3 wire power inlet setup is also a way to go.

If it is a transfer switch, I "assume" the original owner just switched it to a manual change from gen set to campground outlet like my first motorhome was set up. fool proof and save $300.

You're Welcome!

I think it looks like a transfer switch too. $300 seems rather steep for a transfer switch, but maybe once you pay someone through the nose to install it....

Are there any labels or other identifying marks/numbers/information on the box?

Thanks Boon Docker for getting the picture to show. I do not see any room around the generator compartment. Bad bendix on the Gen, so I bought a portable generator. Every thing seems to run fine on it connected to the shore cord, 4000 watts. 30 amp 120v-240v, I am just using the normal grounded cord right now to run an electric ceramic space heater. The local rv dealer don't like people asking questions about stuff like this. I do not deal with him because of his attitude. If he had the part I'd buy it, but I look to poor to him. Snob is all I can say. I'll google the picture and maybe find out more, and thanks to all for the info.

Some kind of transfer switch (just from looking at the relay)?
