Also make sure the trailer electrical plug is firmly seated in the plug box.Pull it out, verify plug condition, and firmly push it all the way in.

So, the shore cord I have is a heavy 50 amp cord with wholly insufficient space to roll it up and plug it into the receptacle when not using shore power. When I ran my generator the 50 amp plug was not fully plugged into the receptacle therefore the micro and AC were not turning on. I pulled the line out of the box and plugged it in and all is well! I think I am going to shorten my cord since I always have to fight the cord when stowing it for the road. Oh ya, no transfer switch on the coach. Thank you all.
That would be a mistake imo.
Just take the time to roll it up tight enough it all fits in and you can still get the plug in tight. Its tight, but there is enough room. I have done it many many times. The warmer it gets the easier the cord will be to manhandle(kind of). Your not making yore wife do it, are you ??? lol

Totally doable - just requires the use of 4, 2 male/2 female, marine twist lock ends. Basicly making 2 jumpers plus an extension. Get boots and a connection collar to maintain integrity from water.
