THOR #1755
Vegas 24.1 Generator

Does anyone know if generator has a Breaker and Where it is? Wife was using a Vacuum, while we were on generator power, and after 3-4 minutes we had no more generated power. Appreciate, and Thanks for any Help. Kamm

Did the generator die or did the breaker for the interior outlet trip. The interior breakers are normally at the foot of the bed platform. The generator does also have a breaker (on my coach it is a 100 amp breaker). The location varies by coach with mine behind right next to the house batteries.

Did you check the breaker panel below the fridge? Did you check the breakers on the generator (open the panel on the outside at the far back bottom on the drivers side) there are breakers right on the generator.

Yes there is a breaker on the generator. It is a little hard to see but if you open the generator panel just behind the start switch is the black switch that is the breaker.

No generator runs, I have no 110 volts to run outlets, microwave, or AC without Shore Power.

You are correct the generator will run but you get no ac power. I have had to reset it once and the generator was running. When I reset the switch I did shut down the generator.

Here is a picture of where the switch is located. I placed a white pen on the switch so you can see it better. I also noticed the switch is rated at 30 amps.

Still raining here, I'll give it a Try, after you reset the breaker how long before the generator power kicked on? Thanks, Kamm

Since I shut down the generator to reset the switch, I started the generator normally and the power cycled on normally.
