No AC Power Inside The Coach Troubleshooting Automatic Transfer Switch

- This customer had a power outage a few weeks ago, but when the power was restored, he had no AC power inside the coach. I suspected either the shore cord or the ATS. Watch to see what I found.

You did a great job and made a good decision.
Nice video. You helped me a year later! My problem was the transfer switch also. I re-routed my shore power to the generator side of the switch and got it working while I wait for new switch to come in the mail. Thank you!
Awesome
woke up this morning 9-24-2023 and ac was out, plug where shore power was burnt , both sides, hardwired and still no power. your video on transfer switch saved me. no gen, just connected wires and we have power. thank you. full time is hard, especially on Sundays when everything is closed
Awesome. Glad I could help. TH-cam is always open.
Another great instructional video
Hey Kenny, thanks for checking in. I checked voltage at the input of the TS and it was good. I was going to use the wire nut method but instead connected shore power to the generator connection instead and that works fine except it has a short delay before pulling it in.
Thanks again for all your videos, Great work!
That will work too.
Thanks. Good explanation
Great advice I am having the same problem with my 2023 Thor 19L sanctuary van I tested I have power to the switch no power out
At least you know where the problem is.
I'm in Reno, Nevada and want to thank you for your advice that's helped me with my RV! Your the Man!!
You are welcome.
I had a power outage last night at the house , I keep the camper plugged in and checked on it this morning and had no 110v.
The coach has the exact same model transfer switch as in your video from 2 years ago, I don't have a generator either so I may get some big blue wire nuts and save $200 bucks.
Not sure why this burned out with a surge protector in place, guess its a common problem.
Thanks for the Video and the bypass idea!!!
Get your meter out first to verify that the power is making it to the TS but just not making it through.

Being from Alabama it’s nice to watch a video where the guy doesn’t have an accent. 🙂
Subscribed. 👍
Ha ha. Thanks
??? If your from Alabama you're the one with the accent 😆
@@jimellerman5686 Maybe we both talk funny.
@@hillbillyrv that's the point sir, everything is relative. If you come out west you'll talk funny, if i come down south I'll talk funny. 😆
Awesome info in all your videos. Keep it up my friend. GOOD STUFF!
Thank you very much.
As always another great video.
Thanks a bunch
Great informational video. Smart thinking. Thanks Don
Thank you
I’m currently experiencing this problem right now. 2003 Fleetwood Expedition diesel pusher. When I start Genny the 110 power cuts off, when I turn off the Genny the 110 comes back on
Maybe I could PayPal something to be able to talk with you? I’m not knowledgeable on electrical so a buddy is coming over today with his multimeter and we’re gonna start poking around inside the transfer switch box after we disconnect all the batteries. Do I need to disconnect the separate chassis batteries?
With the Genny off everything is working, I’m 4 years full time with my dog Tigger and I’m disabled with paralysis (incomplete, so I can barely walk but I’m grateful for that!)
Either transfer switch problem or a problem with the gen. Your buddy should be able to figure out what’s up.
Thanks for the help
You are welcome.
Nice puzzle👍
Thanks. It was fun.
Good job done
Thanks
Great job man
Thank you
Thanks for the help you da man bro
You are welcome.
Most Automatic Generator Transfer Switches use AC coil that buzz - hum. I found only one company that uses DC coils that do not buzz and hum: SCO, they make both a 30amp the LPT30BRD and 50 amp Automatic Transfer Switches.
Cool
Thanks!
Thank You John
Good video Kenny thanks
You are welcome
Thank you sir

05 pleasureway Lexor RD chevy 3500.
No house power w/ generator onan2800,except house battery power stuff.
I have shore power & house battery power.
w/ generator on measured Voltage erroneous readings no 120VAC on breakers or 12VDC on fuses.
shore power cords which I connected to coach 1st then to household
Outlet. Result 124VAC on all breakers from neutral bus bar to breakers lugs & from negative green& bare wire bus bar to lugs, to each fuse 13.4VDC.also the GFI circuit in bathroom came on w/ test lamp.
Additionally the air conditioner powered up so did microwave oven however no joy w/
Furnace still can’t hear blower or igniter.thremostate is getting 12VDC.
house battery a deep cycle group 27 12.9VDC starts generator.
Edit: when on shore power w/ AC on for about a minute I did hear the converters fan come on for maybe 2 minutes then off so I assume the convertors internal fuse is good?
The generators Onan 2800 fuel filter is jammed up on the breaker due to a fuel line to short.
I suspect w/ little vibration the generators breaker is turning off bc of fuel filter I think I’ve flipped it back up to on position & it’s turning itself off.
I’d like to extend this fuel line & move it off the switch, anyone know the size of this fuel lines inside diameter? attached image of where I think the fuel filter should be located.Thanks for advice it is much appreciated.
I don't but maybe someone else does.
Just bypassed mine yesterday. Ordered new one. Then watched this video. Wrong order…
Opps
strange shore cable and camper connection , and transfer switch burn up, have surge protector, but have had big lightning storms, any ideas, maybe ground rod for camper ? , full time for 5 years, have same camper as video, cardinal 2018
Sometimes stuff just happens. I don’t know that a ground rod would help.
If there was enough wire, could you have moved the shore power to the generator switch? Disconnect the little sensor wires first.
I don't really know, but I know that I have done this little trick several times in my career. It works every time.
@@hillbillyrv Thanks! I was just curious. My transfer switch w/gen set still works. But I will always rember your trick.
I did exactly what you said and it did work!
@@TeamBuckRogersGood info to know. Either bypass will work!
Could you have moved the incoming power wires up to the gen contractor and apply power? Since the lower contractor was burn out.
Possibly, but they were pretty short.
I just came across this channel hillbilly and have already learned a bit so thank you. Although I live in CA I too am a hillbilly from southwest WV. Can you say where specifically where you’re from? I was born and raised close to Barboursville.
Glad you found my channel. I am in Beckley.
Thanks for bouncing back. My dad was from Mt Hope and I was born in Oak Hill. I appreciate your channel and am learning from it even at my advanced age.
@@skipgarrett4379 Even us old guys still learn.
Good call Kenny saved that guy a little money 💰
It was totally not needed.
I have a small camper 14 ft first the fan and light above the stove quit and possibly the awning,then months later the AC and the frig quit I checked the breakers and they seemed to be ok could it be the transfer switch? I'm new to this and never new much about electric anyway
Ps the microwave still works
I doubt very seriously that that little TT has a transfer switch. Get your meter out and start checking powers, neutrals and grounds.
You put the shoreline in where the generator goes I bet
If you watch the whole video, I explain what I did.
@@hillbillyrv yes I did watch the whole thing.
I just thought off the bat that the wires could have been put onto the other side for the generator would hook up at and then just still go through the the switch box.
I was looking at an RV and they said that none of the 110 Power is working, so that's why I was looking up and found your video.
The guy was being told that it was probably the converter box, but the owner really didn't know what was wrong with it. He said the 12-volt system works. So I'm going to see if that RV as the switch and the converter box or if it's separate
@@dannybeauclair9587 OK
@@hillbillyrv but thanks for putting up that video because it did help me think about that switch
@@dannybeauclair9587 Cool
Was heading home from Orlando yesterday with the generator on and then I noticed that the forward two ac units weren’t kicking on but the rear one was. Usually on this panel it’ll show 120v on one side and 120 on the other but it seems like it’s only getting one leg. Does this seem to be a transfer switch issue? As soon as I got home I plugged it into 50 amp and everything worked fine until today it’s showing only 120 V again. Does it seem like my transfer switch is on its way out? I’m thinking the rear AC runs on one leg and the forward two runs on the other. Any ideas?
It is hard to say without diagnosing it properly.
Hi Hillbilly i think your videos are very informative. I was wounder if can tell me where my fuel pump relay is on my Onan Generator its an older Emarald 400 plus from my motorhome. I have no power to my fuel pump.
That relay is on the main control board.
@@hillbillyrv hi do you have a picture of it and which one it is on the board. Can i order that relay or i have to order a new board. Thank you Sir for this infomation.
@@hippywildchildracing It comes on the new board.
@@hillbillyrv hi a good place to buy the board.. Ty Sir
@@hippywildchildracing Your friendly, Neiborhood Onan dealer.
Kenny, good vid as always....I have a totally unrelated question for you regarding a Suburban oven. Pilot lights and stays lit, but burner won't light...even when holding a lighter to the burner with the knob turned on (and held in). The gas is flowing as I can hear it, but even with the lighter the burner won't catch. There is a bit of a blue flame at the base of the burner, but it looks like it's being blown (by the gas??) and never will catch the rest of the burner. Take away the lighter and flame goes out. I've searched and find no one addressing anything like this. Any suggestions? btw, wish I could find a mobil RV repairman like yourself...someone who knows what they're doing and has the customer's best interest in mind. I try to do most of the work on my rigs, but every now and then something comes up that's above my pay grade. Any chance of you moving to South Texas?? thx again for all you do.
You could move to WV...... Ovens are tough Alan. I would defiantly check the orifice for some kind of obstruction. Remember, only blow it out with breath or air.
@pennie m nope. Decided to use the space for an air fryer/toaster oven. A lot more flexible
Hey thanks for the video. I'm new to the RV experience and I bought an everest 5th wheel. However the lights in the room go dim and ac goes out until I charge it manually using jumper cables from my car battery to the RV battery. After about a half hour charging it, my ac will work fine for 10-12 hours before I have to repeat the cycle. What do you think is wrong? Converter, inverter, ? And how easy is it to replace myself? It's an everest keystone 06. Where might I find the converter inverter box? Is that what was underneath the fuse panel? Seems difficult to get to. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Go to my channel, subscribe and search for videos on diagnosing and replacing the converter. There are several to choose from. I believe you will get all the help you need. Thanks
Kind of a tricky question: What if the shore power wires are getting power, but the RV still won't power on??? My Solar power works fine but the shore power won't, it has me stumped.
Get your multi meter out and follow the electricity and figure out where it stops. Don’t worry about the DC. That ain’t the truth problem.
@Hillbilly RV I should have been more specific, my Solar doesn't just power my 12V system, it can also power my entire RV if needs be.
@Hillbilly RV Also, I did just what you said and found the issue, and now my shore power is working again. Thank you.
@@mrwisc2598 Great.
why not just install or just make it a manual type plug in type a female to house male plug to what ever power supply no 300 dollars just labor and a couple of parts and still can to generator ready ?
They still do that from the factory. Mostly class C motorhomes or more entry level MHs.
"one of my few faults" - LOL - see what the wife has to say about that... Wire nuts - Really - did you not stock up on Wego's in the truck? is there still a manual disconnect and fuse in line with that bypass in place?
From the shore cord to the power distribution panel, there was never a fuse or disconnect (until the ATS failed. ha ha). I don't have WAGOs that big, dude.
Those wires are normally 6 gauge, Wego’s go up to 10 gauge. Really lol
@@Hugo-Hernandez Do you know, are they rated for 50 Amp?
@@hillbillyrv
I wasn’t being a smartaxx to you at all, I was being a smartaxx to Steve lol, gotta love the know it all keyboard warriors lol. I know the Wego are rated for 600 volts so they should be good but they don’t make anything bigger for a 10 gauge wires
@@Hugo-Hernandez I didn't take it the wrong way. I was asking just so I could learn. Big difference between volts and amps. Does anybody have any real world experience with the WAGOs in higher amp draw settings?
Thanks!
