    Transfer switch issue?? When turning off generator

    Hello all,

    When I am dry camping and running my generator everything is working great. If you shut the generator off ALL the lights, 12v lights included go out for about 10-12 seconds.Complete darkness in the trailer and then, wholla all the battery ran 12v lights come back on. This is my 4th RV with a Onan 5500 genset and I have never had this problem. Any ideas?

    That is weird cuz all the 12v items are running from the battery all the time. Shouldn't make any difference what the gen is doing. If the battery is weak or dead the lights would stay off.

    Any response is better than no response. The batteries are brand new, unless one of them has an issue. I will load check them tonight.
