TRC automatic transfer switch

I have a 2013 Tiffin Allegro Red - 33AA -33,000 miles. Plugged into a 50 amp site for two days. Day one, no problems,day two (same place) the transfer switch/surge protector (TRC model 41260 -original equipment installation) begins sounding like a hammer is being pounded against the bay wall. Took the cover off and saw that the transfer switch was just jumping in and out. Turned off the breaker switch on the pedistal, then turned on again in about 5 minutes. Problem was repeated. Just wondering if any other owners have experienced similar issues?

You found the problem. Bad transfer switch. We had one go out with the Bus less than a year old. Tiffin sent a new one and I swapped them out. Give Tiffin a call and see if they'll help any.

sounds like a $600 repair. if you don't have some sort of extended warranty, you might as well find a local rv tech and just get it fixed.

The 41260 transfer box is around $185 from Tiffin and may be about the same online. I just replaced mine. Hammering means it will fail soon, probably at the most inconvenient time. I would get it replaced soon.

Mine failed too, just out of warranty. Neither tiffin nor try was interested in helping out. I got a replacement for 135 bux on Amazon. 15 minute job to replace on our 2013 32 CA
