    A stupid generator question.

    I'm sitting in my new 31g, with the generator running. I left the manual at home, and I don't know how to get the trailer to run on the generator power. It's fired up, but nothing came on inside

    Check for a circuit breaker on the generator and make sure it is on. I'm not sure about the gen-sets used in 5th wheels but the ones in motorhomes have one. I think on the smaller generators you have to remove an access panel and there is a control panel on the left hand side.

    Make sure no circuit breakers tripped inside on the breaker panel.

    Make sure the transfer switch switched. Maybe try cycling the generator off and on to see if you can hear the switch transfer.

    That would be helpful, if I knew where any of that stuff was. I find nothing inside the generator cover

    Also, make sure the main breakers and all the other breakers inside your RV are in the ON position.

    As mentioned , there should be a cover on the front of the generator that pops off, there should be 2 breakers under the panel, make sure they are on

    I finally figured it out, and eventually found the breakers in the bedroom.

    Glad you were able to find the issue and it wasn't something major.
