When I had problems with my generator not supplying current the Onan suggested I tighten all the wires going to the transfer switch. One was not very tight. That solved my problem and I have never that problem since.

Also, you should have no problem running both A/C's under generator power if all is functioning properly.

I vote for a bad breaker.......not a big deal.

I have had to change the breakers in my gen. a 7500 onan in my Eagle, I am assuming it is the same in your Tradition? If it is changing the breaker is not hard. Since the gen. is running it probably is producing electticity and the breakers not re-setting is probably the issue. At the very least you are going to have to have functioning breakers on the gen. to begin to ascertain if there are additional problems downstream.

I called Fleetwood it is in the Heart interface control center under the bed if the transfer switch goes bad there is NO serviceable parts must replace the whole control center to new technology at a cost of around 5000.00 . I'm going to test to see if the generator is giving output voltage I got a feeling the circuit breaker went bad it does not reset generator runs but no output to motorhome outlets I did over load by having both airs on when the gen was turned on learned a hard lesson. has anyone changed a breaker on the gen before?

It will be under the foot of the bed.

If you have the original Source Manager the transfer switch is incorporated into the unit.

Possibly under the bed. Many American coaches and Revolutions have them under the bed. Please let us now where you find it as the next person will benefit.
