Microwave works.
Started the genny and everything works. On shore power there is a problem.
Is my transfer switch going out? I'm the dum dum who had both air conditioners running and switched from gen to shore power a couple days ago.

adapters can get hot enough to burn a wire on the inside
your A/C on a 20amp circuit, voltage goes down current goes up, resistance goes up, heat level goes up, its bad spiral that keeps going and getting worse
until something fails
heating the cooling, cycling will cause screws to loosen
as you found out
But I Can Not understand it for you !

apparently you have a 4 blade 50amp rv service ( but you never said yes or no )
it has (2) hots (1) neutral (1) ground
you have this plugged into (3) blade 30amp adapter , plugged into a 30-15 adapter ?
YES or NO ?
we all thought the 50 to 30 had burned out (1) of the hots inside the adapter
rubber dogBone 120v RV adapters, NOT parts inside the RV
you do need to answer the questions that are asked by us
if you don't understand the question, ok, tell us
but we can't help when you don't answer
But I Can Not understand it for you !

if you have a 50amp using a 30 amp adapter,
it connects (2) legs to one 30amp hot leg
adapter has burned out
But I Can Not understand it for you !

My panel has 2 legs. Right side is dead. Bu my feed from shore power is only 1 leg.
So it's transfer switch right? On the genny I had both air condertions cranked. On shore power there is no 12v and everything on the "right side leg" is dead.
Does a transfer switch have heat sensitive temporary breakers? It's been hot. Everything worked fine this morning.

In my case, it was the negative wire off the converter that fed to the battery. I jiggled it, and all the lights in the house lit up. Tightened the screws up and it worked forever.

then yes, there is a good chance it is the transfer switch
but start with the easy stuff
take a close look at your shore cord male plug
is burnt is it pitted and black
is it melted
goto home depot etc.. buy a new TT-30 male (trailer 3 blade male)
and replace it
your 30amp Transfer switch is most likely located behind the breaker panel/converter
which means several hours of work, no power, and the need of someone electrically handy to get in there and check it
But I Can Not understand it for you !
