Can 30 AMP do this
-
Greg,
It was an example, I don’t have a clue as to what he has, the purpose of the post was to help him understand what a remote looked like.
-
OK, I have checked and rechecked and 30 AMPS is getting to the coach but the Shore Power Light on Panel is not on? Checked the Shore Power Breaker and it is not tripped?
What else can I look for? -
Can we assume that if you were plugged into 50amps that the shore power light would go on?
Where have you checked to confirm that you’re going the shore power into the coach? Are you sure you’re not sensing power from the inverters making you think that you’re getting shore power in?
-
How are you plugged in? Are you using the cord reel with and adapter, and if so do you know the adapter has continuity? If you are using a 30 amp power cord plugged into the starboard or port side receptacle, is the switch on the transfer switch box set to the proper outlet? It can select from port, starboard or cord reel and has to match where the power comes into the coach.
-
Jon, it is set to come from the “cord reel” and we have power there in the cord from the 30 amp box
-
The bulb may be burned out
-
Now that would be too easy and if it is I feel stupid. I will check!!
-
Peter, that is not it.
At the panel it doesn’t even show AC coming in
What else; anyone have any suggestions -
If you are plugged in and start the gen is there power inside it will tell you if transfer switch is working , ,, gen will always be the first power or main power when you are plugged in , if you start the gen and leave it plugged in it should switch over on its own to gen power
you may have tried this already I have not been keeping track of this thread so I may be late to party

I would try a cord other than the cord reel at the port or starboard side with the switch in the right position based on which external receptacle is being used. If there is power at the shore power box, and if the cord reel is OK then the next item in line that has the potential to be the open circuit is the selector switch.
If the use of the external shore power receptacle doesn’t work either then the potential fault is the transfer switch but running the generator will confirm one side of it works, but not necessarily the shore power side.
-
I was not saying it would say the shore power would be working by doing that just to say to see if there is power from the gen inside
-
I understand.
When we got home last night I plugged into the outside receptacle on my bus which I normally do, with the selector switch changed from the cord reel we used at oysterfest, to the outside cord I use in the garage. I could not get the power from the box into the bus, so I pulled the cord reel cord out and got power into the bus from that.
So I have a similar issue to deal with and the only way is to just check continuity one leg at a time all the way to the transfer switch. The fact my cord reel works and the external cord doesn’t is limited to the cord plug, the cord itself, the outside receptacle and its connector, and the selector switch. It’s just a process that has to be followed.

Yes one time I had same thing happen the side receptacle would not work but cord reel worked , the side one in behind the fender had come loose and was not pushed together when I pushed it together it worked . I rarely use the cord reel maybe three times a year
-
If the light comes on with the generator then you know the light works. I sound to me like the tranfer switch may not be working. My transfer relays have buttons on them I can push to make them work. Pull the cover on them and see if you are getting voltage to the relays from shore power. If you have a manual switch this is all out the window. maybe by flipping the switch many times you clean the contacts and it will work. I would diffinitely check if you are getting power to the transfer switch.
