Generator not powering wall plugs
Perplexed wall plugs inoperative while using generator. Can't charge cell phone. We're only using 300 amp to power furnace fan, lighting, tv. Circuit breakers normal. USB ports charge normal. Slide out normal.

Do any of your other 120v items work while hooked into the generator?

Well at least that eliminates the generator. I'm assuming they worked on shore power. Are you using a dog bone adapter to connect to the generator? Sometimes those dog bone adapters go bad, the internal connections break. A good indication is if only 1 of your legs of power is getting power (assuming you have a 50A RV).
If you have a multimeter with you, you could check for continuity between the input and output sides of the dog bone adapter if you are using one.Last edited by FT4NOW; 02-05-2023 at 07:43 AM.

Oops. Yeah. You correct. I'm a musician and think of terms watts. Sigh

FT4NOW was spot on. I went to breaker box one-by-one turn off breaker and back on . . . seems to have fixed original issue. Still don't know which one was faulty though. I MUCH appreciate plethora of solutions & thoughts.
