First Trip-Electrical Problem
 FYI:
Left Orlando for Gulf Port MS., stopped at a friends house and was showing off the New 2013 24S Solera with less than 1000 miles and noticed my light on the micro wave oven was not "On."  With further investigation, I could not get the Air Conditioner on either with the generator running. I was kind of embarrassed. I believe I have blow a "Fuse." Not sure where or if any of you "RVers" have had the same problem. Appreciate any advice or "Help." Need to get the Air working in the next few days to do some dry camping or off the Camping World to get fixed. Thanks.

Should be on a breaker, does it work on shore power?

Check the breaker on the generator - open the generator "service door" - as I remember the breaker on our propane Onan is bottom center.

Assuming your 24s is the same floorplan as mine, look underneath the oven and there is a breaker box/ fuse panel. Remove the cover(s) to access the AC breakers or the DC fuses. The panels have plastic pullouts and the breakers or fuses are behind them. The little plastic panels should have the location of the various breakers written on the back side...
Hope this helps.

If that doesn't work, Reliable RV is in Gulfport and I'm sure they can figure it out for you.

Do you have an automatic transfer switch or do you manually have to change over to the generator?

I agree with above poster. I don't know if you have an automatic transfer or not. If you do, does any 120V work if not bad transfer switch. If you don't then you need to plug your shore power cord into the generator 30Amp outlet plug.

No transfer switch on my 2012 24S and no outlet to plug the 30amp cord into as in some other RVs. On my SOLERA it cuts over automatically.

The thing that makes it "cut over automatically" is a transfer switch.

Am I understanding this correct, in you're stating there is no outlet on your Solera to plug into a 30 amp outlet?
or are we talking about something else?

I do have the 30 amp cord for connecting to shore power.
On some rigs that has to be manually connected to the generator. This is not necessary on my Solera

Gotcha, that's why I asked. I was reading it to be you didn't have a way to plug your shore power cord to your Solera............at all.
It's all good now. Thanks

Probably a breaker. 2013 with 1,000 miles must be under warranty if its something bigger. Keep us in the loop.

CaptDan, Canyon Lake is twenty miles from my house... if you're not using the air conditioner now, you're hot and sweaty!!!

"Yes Tommyb, it is "Hot." Pretty close to the lake to take a "Dip." 
FYI,
I troubleshot the RV by checking the CB's and 15 amp fuses in the box under the oven to "No Avail." Looked at the compartment at the step on the left side. I am not hooked up to shore power and my Micro wave light is still not "ON" with the back bedroom TV and Air Conditioner not working.
Checked the breaker on the generator (As per JLeising)- open the generator "service door" - After two resets it worked 
 "Thanks to all.
Dan 
PS: Off to Kirkland AFB, New Mexico next week.

Glad to here it was a breaker tripped. Just so we grasp all this, there is a main breakr in the generator bay service panel, that is in line with the microwave and A/C circuit that could trip, like in this instance, that will not allow that circuit to be energized when plugged into shore power. Is that a good understanding of what your problem was? Thanks for the update.

The breaker I referenced is on the generator inside the generator service panel (near the oil dipstick). It cuts off all generator output when tripped. It does not effect shore power.

Ok, got it. Had Captdan plugged into shore power, he would have had full electrical capability. The issue was on generator power only, got it. Thanks.
