PD Power Transfer Switch Replacement
Good Morning
I need some advice, I have a 2014 Winnebago Adventurer. 2 days ago my transfer switch went bad, we had a power outage were staying, and I think it fried the transfer switch. I had no shoreline power when we camped the next day in a different park. When I went to the storage bin where the shore line cord was stored I could smell the odour of burnt electronics. I by passed the transfer switch and got power restored in the motorhome so we can continue our trip back home.
The park that we are in right now has an RV Repairman resident here and I was talking to him about it, and he seems to think the transfer switch has a 2 year warranty on it from Winnebago. Does anyone know if this is true? I tried to contact my dealer, and Winnebago about this yesterday, and neither one has bother to reply to my messages.
I checked with Progressive Dynamics and they only warranty for one year.
My other question I have is ,I have to get a new switch, so I was wondering if there is a better ,more reliable switch out there, and I should add that my motorhome has an automatic generator feature, the power goes off the generator comes on if it is set to auto, great feature if you have a pet, so with that feature do I have to buy a special transfer switch that needs to work with the auto gen feature?, or would any transfer switch work for my 50 Amp service.
It seems to me that on my last motorhome ,1999 Winnebago Chieftain the transfer switch was a TC something, and it worked flawlessly for 15 years.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, BTW this is just one of many, many problems with this motorhome.
Thanks
