Gen/AC problem 08 concord

Don't seem to be getting power to coach when Gen running. All works fine on shore power. Checked breakers, fuses in coach. Reset breaker on Gen. No codes flashing on Gen. I'm unsure where to look next. Any thoughts? Also with batt disconnect on lights don't work either.

If you have an auto change over switch check that, may not be switching from shore power to generator.

I could only guess, it should be a common located where your shore power and generator power leads meet. I'm sure there are other concord owners on the site that can offer better advice as to location. What ever you find let the forum know where and what solved the problem.

My Georgetown you have to plug the shore power line into the generator box to get power from generator. If this is the case I would check that box and see if power is available there. If so, check to see if breakers in coach are bad. Good Luck!

My 2010 Concord had an auto-transfer switch. Not sure if they used them on all years and models but mine was located in the compartment where the shore power cord originated. Sure sounds like a non-functioning switch could be your problem. It may be as easy as a circuit breaker or fuse but if it is the switch itself then $$$$$$$$$$$.

That did the trick. I didn't have it plugged back in because I was at the house exercising the Gen. So just killed the shore power, and tried to load the Gen with the a/c. Thanks to all who responded. This forum is the best [emoji106]

Some coaches, in power cord storage area, there is a generator plugin requiring to plug the shore cord in to your generator. If you know it was auto switched over in the past look for fuse or circuitbreaker between gen and main power or finally suspect transfer switch failure.

Thanks, see#7. Appreciate all the help. I feel kinda lame, but just didn't know that had to be plugged in to complete the circuit. My first MH, so I guess it's going to be a long slow process learning how all this stuff works. The owners manual is pretty vague.
