Usually on here they say to jumper/by-pass the ATS to see if that is where the fault is. You only need to do that with the generator side.
If that works, then you could do PT's idea and have manual switching between shore and gen. If you get an inverter you will need to do that manually. With a portable gen you do it manually between the three 120v sources. You don't need no steenkin ATS.
Yeah, but I'm fresh out of badges, though.
Yeah, the old Winnebago was manual like that. And since some are shy about starting the genny when plugged into shore, the labor is about the same, i.e. virtually none.
The heat pump runs off a 30A circuit when necessary, so the only situation I can see it being a bit of a pain is when it's parked at the house receiving 15 or 20A for battery maintenance and one wishes to cool the rig off while loading or unloading on a hot, sunny day. But again... about 45 seconds of "effort."
There IS a Xantrex Freedom 458 inverter in there. So what else do you need to do manually with this in mind?
