Would a bad Automatic Transfer Switch cause the genset breaker to trip off?
Yes, and you could lift the wires off it for a test but as mentioned, that voltage is far too high. You could have two problems.
The high voltage could have toasted something that has now become a short or at least enough of a load/short that it trips the breaker.
I would assume you have checked the voltage on other things with your meter such as the shoreline outlet. Just to assure your meter is working correctly.
If shoreline power is working fine and nothing is NOT working inside, that is the microwave and any other electrical devices are working then the short would seem to be from the transfer panel towards the generator.
There could be a partially melted wire touching the frame of the rv that has just a few strands touching.
Lifting the wires off the transfer switch that come from the generator should check that. If the thing still trips, pull the wire off the generator breaker and put your meter into the Ohm position or continuity test and check the wires that are now disconnected from both ends.
