Exercise genny while on shore power?
New to on board generators. Parked for the winter with 50 amp service, and it's time to exercise the genny. Do I have to disconnect first? 2006 Bounder, Onan 5500, ATS

Not all transfer switches are set up the same way. Some give priority to the generator, others give priority to shore power. You need to know which way yours is set up.
Mine is shore power priority but my Newell had generator priority.
Yes always turn off all high loads such as air conditioner or heater before switching or plugging/unplugging. This will protect your transfer switch from arcing and damaging the contacts.
