Lucky that you were near someone who actually had a replacement part. Glad to help. Enjoy.

Glad you got it working.
I bet there was debris/ trash in the normally closed contacts. I bought one once that was like that.

We've had the breakers trip twice now.....so what's the problem this time? We thought it was a cheapo floor heater so we threw that out. Then while using a hair dryer it tripped. Didn't think that was a big issue with a 50 amp. Hadn't happened before now.

I suspect something must be miswired in that new transfer switch.

That must be one powerful hair dryer.

Glad it worked out!
I wanted to add that I had s similar tv not working and found out there is a push button on the antenna hook up plate by the tv/cable/ sat selector box that accidentally got pushed off. It's located in a storage cabinet above the dash. Green light when it's on.
Just in case anyone reading this has a similar problem.

SimoR, when you say "accidentally pushed off"; turning the booster "off" - light off - is how you switch to CATV when using Campground provided channels... on purpose. "On" or lit for antenna / OTA is correct.

Sounds like they set mine up a bit different. I have a mechanical switch box, that does work when switching to cable, as well as the power to the King HD antenna. (Even though it doesn't seem to matter if I turn the power on or off at the antenna). As you can see in the picture you can't really see that there is a little push button by the green light that got pushed when packing the storage up.

Drove me crazy till I figured it out so I'm posting on case anyone else has this issue.

yep sounds like different or modified. I had to run a separate coax and added an external plug for Sat. My old camper had a cigarette lighter type plug in that booster plate. ... handy
