Djay, I guess I should have done a search for this problem,before I POSTED IT, I find that this is normal as there is a brief POWER INTERUPTION happens when Power is transferring, seems to Me there should be remedy as it is Very upsetting.

That is normal because they never installed "No Break Power". I wish they had.

A small UPS will eliminate this problem. The transfer switch installed on MH's are not bump less as in a power plant where we have a transfer in 3 miliseconds.

DCTENT,

I believe if you will turn on the inverter it will solve your problem. When the generator shuts down the transfer relay drops out and connects back to shore power. That short interruption of power will cause most televisions to power off. If the inverter is enable the power will switch to the inverter in a very short time keeping the televisions on and the clock on the microwave from requiring a reset.
