Generator not communicating
My son took the RV out last weekend and had trouble with the generator. It ran fine but wasn’t communicating with the Rv. He could never get anything to work in the camper using the generator. Is there something that needs to be reset, replaced, etc. it is the 5500 gasoline generator that comes on the Momentum toy hauler. It was working great last month when we did the monthly procedure of letting it run with the A/c on.

Did you check if the generator output breakers were shut? They are under the generator front panel.

My only other thought is something going on with the auto transfer switch. They have been known to stick.

Yes in the basement, behind the false wall. Best bet is to disconnect from shore power and keep generator off. Pop the top off the transfer switch and you will see spring contacts, they should move freely without any power applied. If you are safe working on energized gear and have a meter you can turn the generator on after while the cover is still off and measure the power and see if the contacts close. This is very dangerous if youre not careful as there are exposed 120v wires, so use your own judgement on that part of it.

Another thing to try is unhook from shore power and the rehook. My Solitude has the propane Onan and I hear a distinctive clunk or click from the transfer switch when I plug it in. If on shore power and I start the generator you will hear the clunk again. Might be one way to tell if it's working.
