Power loss on 30 amp

Yahoo Message Number: 88896
Been plugged into 30 amp, service for 4 days and everything was good. Refer on propane and only running 1 AC when needed. Move the coach today to get better satellite and replugged into same 30 amp, same outlet. Now nothing to the microwave or the audio system. Checked all breakers, fuses, circuits. Checked surge guard and have 30 amp, since floor heat, refer, will run with inverter off. Still no power to other and outlets. Suggestions on where to check next. I'm out of ideas.

Transfer switch is making the clicking sound when the power starts; are there any checks for it? I thought if the transfer switch was bad, we wouldn't get ANY power to the coach. We are getting power, but only to selected areas.

Now when I reset my Xantrex 2000 and turn on the inverter, I get an AC back feed warning to fix immediately. Consulted the manual, but no guidance there. Any ideas where I should start?

Check, reset, both GFIs. Check voltage out, with a meter, on both sides of the T-Switch.

No idea about the inverter, do things work if you run on the genset?

When my AC outlet plugs went out it was caused by the circuit breaker on the inverter (a little black button) being tripped. Once reset, all was well.

Start the generator, the Transfer switch should change over and prioritize the generator. If that does not work check voltage on red and white wire going in to transfer switch. If you have power, next check power leaving the switch. If you have power leaving the swich it should be working. Transfer switches are very expensive, I don't think that is your problem.

Roger, check the GFI receptacle. sounds like just your outlets are down. On my Inspire, its located in the inboard side of the china cabinet just aft of the DS slide. good luck.

Roger- you have 2 transfer switches, one "main" that distinguishes incoming shore from incoming gen, and one in the inverter that switches between outgoing-incoming 120v and outgoing-inverted 120V. If you have shore or gen, the inverter's xfer uses it to charge & to turn around to the 120V out. If no 120V in, the inverter's xfer & other electronics inverts 12V into 120V & sends it out.
The inverter xfer failing may indicate (along w/the error message you are receiving) a problem w/internal electronics.

If refer will run, you have shore power through the transfer switch to the coach.
If items that will not run all are outlet driven, check your GFI outlets, reset the panel breakers for the outlets and check the breakers on the Inverter. With power to the coach (refer) you do not need the inverter on.
