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

"So a few weeks ago i started up my generator without realizing that the power switch for my fridge was on still. The generator tripped and a small amount of smoke came out near my inverter/converter and fuse panel. I replaced both of those and power still was not coming from my generator. So after some troubleshooting and finding out that my generator was in fact producing power, I landed on a fault in my auto transfer switch. I just located the switch, and it is attached to the back of the housing of my inverter/converter and fuse panel and I can't even open it. Has anybody else run into this problem? and what did you have to do to fix it?"
