Nothing works when on shore power.

I have a 2004 Monaco Knight. My electric will not work when I am plugged in to shore power but everything works fine while running the generator. I have checked the voltage at the pole and I am getting 120 on both sides. The EMS system is recognizing that I have 50 amp service, but it is not reading how many amps I am drawing. The seems to be no power going to my inverter.

Thanks,
Todd
  • ATS is between your shore power cord connection to the coach and your 120 main breaker box.

    Don't know if you have a converter, and inverter or most likely, an inverter/charger. Look in compartments near the batteries.

    Tell us the brand and model and we can tell you what you have.

    Did your coach not come with any literature?

    If you are not safe working around 240 VAC, I would suggest all you do is tap lightly on the outside of the ATS-- sometimes that is enough to free the stuck points (temporary fix). If you are safe working with 240 VAC, take the lid off the ATS and check for power in and out while on shore power.


    Thank you. Any idea where I can find the ATS? Also, does my unit have both a converter and inverter?
