Hey Tom, Thanks for your advice and knowledge.....I will replace the Transfer switch as discussed. Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply Tom. Pics attached. I will replace the Transfer Switch asap, a bit flooded right now here in Southwest Florida! I will not fire the Generator until it is replaced to be on the safe side, thanks for the heads up on that. I wasn't very clear on the steps to the failure in the previous description: I was plugged into 50 amp at my home, I leave the coach plugged in all winter at home. Normlly I would unplug shore power before firing the Generator but failed to do so this time. After firing the Generator I exited the Coach and noticed the Progressive Power Surge protector was still lit. I immediately unplugged the Shore Power with the Gen running. Probably should have killed the Gen than unplugged but didn't. After unplugging the Shore Power the Gen ran for around 2-5 minutes with 1 air and hot water heater on to load the Gen, it ran for around 2-5 minutes before it died. I went back to the coach and all 12v was down including the switch to start the Generator. Found the 120v Buss shown in the pics tripped. It felt like it reset properly. After resetting the Buss I then checked 12v inside the coach and it appears all is good. Cannot get to the Transfer Switch without wading thru a couple inches of water and standing in water while I investigate the Transfer Switch. I will wait for the water to recede. I run the Gen once a month under load for around 2 hours to excercise. Been doing this for years with this and all previous coaches. I understand the Gen and DC are seperate, that is why I was confused as to what caused the Buss to trip. Thanks in advance for your attention!

I started the Gen then disconnected the shore power probably a minute or so later. I normally disconnect shore power than start the gen. To answer your question I run my airs and battery charger/inverter all the time at home on shore power while stored. Once a month or so I disconnect the shore power, start the generator, turn on 1 AC and the Water heater to load the gen to around 20 amps and let run for a couple hours. Thats what i was doing when it tripped the HI-Amp Buss. I normally do not start the gen than unplug shore power. Just goofed it. The Gen ran for probably 5 minutes before tripping the Buss which killed the Gen Set. I have not restarted and loaded the Gen as I was unsure of what tripped the HI-AMP buss. I do have the original transfer switch which I have read is unsafe. Will be swapping that out.

Good Evening, I was exercising my generator. Turned on the Water Heater and one roof top AC to load it. It ran for a few minutes than shut down. No power to any 12v or to the Gen Start. Found the HI-AMP Buss 120A tripped. Reset it and all is fine on shore power. Have not tried it on the Gen Set. Any ideas what may have caused this?

Where did you source the radiator?

How do they glide over the outer flange?

Beautiful!
