Electrical Issues. Please help

Look on the generator for breakers and reset them.

Ok

It’s an Oman 7500 generator. Couldn’t find any breakers on it. It is night here so I’ll dig deeper in the daylight. I did find the breaker/fuse panel on the side of the bed base. No breakers were tripped and best I could tell no fuses were blown. Are all the controllers such as furnace controller and indicator panels run off the auxiliary battery? Like mentioned before if the shore power tripped the heat/ac unit may have stayed on draining the aux battery correct? And if I plug in shore power shouldn’t things run that way? Cause I can’t get any shore power when plugged in.

I think your inverter may have tripped an AC breaker. I would do a full power down and check the inverter for faults and any resets for breakers on the inverter. That year should be a magnum 2000/2800 series, with a 30amp pass thru.

The other potential is a faulty transfer switch. Running generator will answer that question, unless both contactors are bad, but that is rare.

I’m not sure where any of that is located. I have unplugged the shore power cable and currently the only thing illuminated on the control panel in the top front compartment is the red light on the main battery switch. I can press tank checks and they work and also battery check shows 12.9 on main battery and doesn’t even light up when I press aux battery test. Pretend I know nothing and you will be correct. Lol

Did you get the owners manual with your MH?

Put a known good battery in place of the aux battery before going further. If by chance things have been wired to the aux it's quite possible it can't recharge enough to power anything even though you're plugged in or running.

i was just pondering that. The ac unit probably ran on house power after the shore tripped out killing the house battery. And if that’s dead even shore power won’t work because the switch needs power to change back to shore power. Does that sound logical? I’m so out of my experience on this stuff I’m just learning this as I go. But to me that sounds possible.

Batteries will get you every time. Take one out of your car to test.

Where in NH are you?

Ok. Now I just need to figure out which is the house battery. Lol

Damn, I just noticed we’re neighbors!

Chance are it's not the one next to the engine.
