yes a genset can loose 'residual' magnetism of the core
but this is a slow process, sometimes taking years
it is NOT the likely cause of his problems
he will need to wire an outlet to the generator connection box
or the input side of the TS
without power the TS is open, the RV outlets are NOT connected to the generator when the TS is open
so there is no outlet he can use until he makes one
I agree, the rotor should have enough residual magnetism to excite, I would be checking the resistance across the output, it also shows a fuse on the gen output to check as well, if thats ok more likely the regulator has issues...
