The standard lights in a RV are 12 vdc not 110 vac so they don't need the generator. Is the generator hard to start, i.e. like the batteries are low? Does the microwave, TV or any item that uses 110 vac work properly?

Also, please post what the model and manufacture of the RV and generator are.

Sounds to me like you have MANY problems. Take one at a time. Try not to complicate an issue by listing other problems when posting here. Always list one problem at a time and give as many details as you can.

The rear air conditioner won't run on the generator. Now things are working on shore power.

I know when the GFCI plug in the bathroom trips other outlets up front and the table lamp do not work. That lamp is 120 VAC in our RV. Is that the light you are talking about?

Sounds like you may have transfer switch problems behind the breaker/fuse panel.
