I keep my 2004 holiday rambler scepter plugged in to 30 amp in our morton building and noticed the power was off and 30 amp breaker was off. I flip switch and breaker went off again. tried a 15 amp same thing then started genset it started but when it went to put power on it stopped. Any ideas? tried turning all MH breakers off but no help.

If it blows the shore power breaker when the coach main breaker is off, that would suggest a short in adapter, shore power cord, ATS or going into the coach main breaker box.

I would start with the power transfer box. Almost sounds like both the shore power and generator relays are closed at the sametime. With the breaks all tripped the next item is the transfer switch.

Keep us informed on what you find.

Have you done anything recently like run the gen while plugged in? The transfer switch on mine gave me recent problem although not the.dame as your problems. A good tap on the transfer swith may make it work temporarily. There is a small circuit board inside the switch that has a tiny button. Turn it in the on position and see if it does anything.

Thanks will try it. Is that the black box in the bay that powercord enters?
