Generator starts and runs but will not power the coach. Is there a switch to engage the gen? Lee

Check the 2 little breakers on the generator itself; open and close them firmly. If they are thrown, no power will enter the coach.

If yours is an older unit, there may be a plug near the power cord storage that the cord plugs into, thereby taking power from the gennie.

Otherwise, if everything runs on shore power, you probably have an issue with the automatic transfer switch.

The plug powered the coach, thank you. Lee
