We have the front 50 amp plug plus the built in Surge Guard surge protector and the Precision Circuits Inc power control system. With all this we were having problem getting power from the two Honda 2000 watt generators into the coach. The fix was recommended by the power control company to Greg Weldon at DRV and passed on to me. "The Power Management will not let the power into your unit because of a open ground. To correct this problem; use a new 15amp male three prong plug in - install a wire from the ground prong (top prong and green screw) to the neutral prong (silver screw). DO NOT USE the Hot or Power prong (bronze or copper). Plug the male plugin into one of the 15 amps female receptacle on either generator. This will fix your problem". That is a quote from the note I got from Greg and it worked with no issues. We have used the generators on the 50amp plug on the front of the RV and the main power cord at the rear. We can only use one AC unit and two TV's and Refrigerator without over loading the generators.
