Outfitter Apex 9.5 Help

I recently bought a 2003 Apex 9.5 that's in pretty good condition. All the systems work, but I'm having trouble with the 120v AC power transfer. I get good AC power to everything when hooked to shore power, but neither the inverter or Onan generator seem to power anything. I've tested the inverter and generator and they have good power output. I suspect there's some kind of transfer switch that may be causing the problem, but I've not been able to find it. Thanks in advance for any help.
  • Thanks for the reply. It's more help than I get from Outfitter who don't seem to want to answer any questions. I've checked all over the battery box and the only red buttons I can find are for the two 30/50 amp DC breakers. If one is popped, the generator won't start, but that's not my problem. The generator starts and runs fine, I just don't get any 120v AC power from it or from the inverter.
  • My Outfitter is older than yours and is equipped with an Onan propane generator, so I will assume it is constructed much like yours. There is a 'reset' of some sort located to the rear, on the outside of the battery box. There is barely enough space to slide a finger in there and push on the red button. Take a flashlight, look there, and if you find something, push and try to get a reset. Tom McCloud
