When plugged into power at the house all appliances work fine, but when generator is running am not getting the 50 amps needed to run AC etc.
I was wondering if it is the switch breaker it does not pull in???
 
Welcome. What model coach do you have? When the generator is running, do you get any AC power from it or are 120V devices still running off of the inverter? I’m wondering if power is making it to the transfer switch? Is the breaker on the generator tripped? What troubleshooting have you already done?
 
Have you had the generator serviced recently? It is common for the techs to turn the breaker on the generator itself to the off position to avoid any electrical issues. They rarely remember to turn it back on.

I was the tech who forgot to turn back on the breaker I must have flipped it when I was cleaning generator by accident. Thought it had to be something simple because it was working less than a month ago. I had forgotten that I had cleared up the generator
THANKS FOR HELP as you jogged my old memory
 
Glad to help. Been there, done that! As for the "old memory" that needs occasional jogging, I resemble that remark. :ROFLMAO:
