When I run the generator, afterward the Test Panel is completely dead, the Propane powered fridge shuts off, and in general everything behaves like there is absolutely no power in the house battery. So I run the engine for a bit, and within a few minutes usually, everything comes back on
this has nothing to do with 110v use
fridge control uses 12v
most fridge are 2-way 120v or propane/LP
some are 3-way and include a 12v keep cool mode for travel
using the 12v mode when parked will suck the battery dead .. real quick
batteries are taking charging from alternator
and when using shore power ?
then generator output is probable problem
