I started genset this weekend and waited about 10 minutes and then turned on the air conditioners. Was expecting it to take a few minutes to come on. They didn't and then I noticed 00 on the feeder panel. Checked to see that breaker was on and it was.

Is there a breaker on the genset?

Is the surge guard gone?

The last time I used the coach I was hooked to 50 amp and didn't seem to have a problem.

Coach is 2000 Magna

If resetting the breaker on the generator doesn't resolve your problem, suspect your transfer switch.

My transfer switch would not toggle to generator supply. Turned out to be a capacitor on the timing board in the transfer switch...

Here's links to Dave Hills solution

You will need to find a source for the capacitor since Radio Shack is out of business it may be a bit difficult. Once you have the board out and the soldering iron hot the fix is about 30 seconds. Then you can spend 20 minutes crawling into the bay and reinstalling the board. I removed the supply wires inside the transfer switch to make access to the board easier. Make sure there is no power to the coach and if you have auto generator start make sure it is turned off.
