First off. NOTHING goes before the ATS. The chain of command is. Shore power cord connected to INPUT side of ATS. Generate connected to 2nd input side of ATS. RV electric panel box with Main breaker and sub breakers installed connected to OUTPUT side of ATS.

That's it!!! Shore Power, generator, Electric panel. Any load before the electric main breaker is a hack job and against NEC code. No load of any kind is before the panel main breaker.

Also you need to check the voltage at the shore power for 240 volts L1 to L2. And keep checking that all the way back to the main breaker. 240 volts at the main breaker. L1 to L2. You will not get 240 volts from the generator.

You EMS (miss named "surge Protector" needs to see 240 volts. Also your EMS has a 120 sec time dely. It will not pass voltage untill it has gone thru it timed cycle.
P.S. I do not know what the dealer sold you for $30.00 But it was NOT a converter.
