Generator power question
I have a 2007 Newmar Bay Star with an Onan 5.5k generator. This past weekend I attempted to run the generator under load for its monthly workout. The generator runs fine but there is no power getting to the coach. I checked the breakers both on the generator and inside and no issues, no bad fuses. The power came on twice when I restarted the generator but cut off instantly when I turned something on and drew power.
Reading some forums suggest that the automatic transfer switch may be bad. I am trying to get a tech to look at it but it's snowbird time in South Florida and I'm having trouble getting an appointment (there is no way I would attempt to fix myself).
My question is, I'm supposed to leave Thursday on a 2 week trek with it. Will I be able to use shore power despite the possible bad switch or is it a bad idea?
