Not The Generator

I had this happen to me before. Generator ran just fine all day then suddenly no power but it still ran just fine. Shut it off and plugged into shore power and everything worked. Next day the generator started and ran normal but no power output or so I thought. Checked everything. Turned out to be an issue with the transfer switch. At initial build and install they failed to tighten the nuts on the wire to switch and after a thousand miles or so they shook lose and actually did some arching and tripped the switch to off inside the switch so the generator could deliver no power to it but shore power did. There was some significant burn marks inside the transfer switch box, we were lucky it didn't catch on fire and burn the RV up. I had a mobile repair guy come out to our campsite and replace the switch with a much higher quality one and Thor reimbursed me.
