Inverter / Converter won't switch over when on Gen

So I've been having issues with my xantrex inverter / converter on working with my generator. No pass thru nothing, no charging. Nothing. Works fine on house and pole power. Just won't on the Gen set...

You have a 17 year old Trailer? If so, I doubt you have a ATS transfer switch unless the trailer came with a OEM Genset.
SO, are you plugging the shore cord into the Genset? Or do you have a ATS system? Answers to these 2 questions will help us help you. Doug

PS, On Genset does the Roof AC come on? The roof AC is NOT in the Inverter circuit. Also need model number of Xantrex. The most COMMON 1800 is NOT a charger but just a Inverter AND does NOT have a internal transfer relay. So exact Model will help.
