I keep my Vegas 25.6 plugged into 30 amp shore power at my home. Due to expected cold weather this week, I plugged in an electric heater to keep things warm overnite. When I returned the next afternoon to check on status, I found no power in MH.

I checked power supply and found 120 volts all the way up to outside wall plug of MH. I checked the voltage at the hardwired Progressive Industries Electrical Management System behind the main power center and found none.

I cranked generator and checked power again at the EMS and found none.

The only thing I could think of between the electrical plug on outside of MH and the EMS was the Automatic Transfer System. So I pulled the rear wall panel and contorted my body so that I could see under the fresh water tank and locate the ATS. There it was, a 7x8" box 5" tall in a 10" tall space screwed down at all four corners. Apparently put in before the back wall and holding tank due to the rear angle of the screws. I was able to get it out and found this (see attached photo).

I took the ATS and the generator input out of the line and just wired shore power directly to the EMS.

Any suggestions as to what/why this happened?

Should I go back with another Progressive Industries 5100 or another brand?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi fresh water tank behind my bedroom drawer under right side of rear closet. Is the ATS under the actual water tank?
Do you have a picture?
