Transfer switch freaking out
Let me start with my set up first. I am preped and wired for gen set but do not have a generator installed. I have a Surge Guard 41260 that looks like shore power goes thru this then into the camper....

Another update:
Went into camper yesterday to turn fridge on in prep for our trip tomorrow when all a sudden the main AC stops...I then smell electrical burning....low and behold my transfer switch is smoking!!! The T1 wire from the load side of the contactor melted and arched until the wore actually broke. I put in the old transfer switch and have been taking amp readings all night and this morning and only running at 14amp with once AC and 2 refrigerators running. Factory working on a solution but wanted to see if any of you have any idears?
