Where is the power transfer switch located on my 2004 Pace Arrow 37A on a Workhorse chasis?

If you find one,let me know.
I don't think it has one, other than the 'aux start" button on the dash.
No "ship / shore" switch to my knowledge on our coaches.

If you don't plug your shore cord into the generator outlet, you have a Auto Transfer Switch.

Start the generator, wait about 20 seconds and listen for a clunk. ATSs all have delays in them.

You can do it over and over by switching off and then on, the generator breakers.

Just don't have anything electric running when your doing it.

The transfer switch is under the vanity in the bathroom of my 2004 37C. Replaced mine last year.

If all else fails, trace the shore cord until it enters a box that also has the generator wires coming into it. It has to be somewhere between the shore cord and the load center (breaker box) and meet up with the genset wires.

nd, would you please post a picture of yours.
After I read your post, I scurried out to the barn and checked under the bathroom sink. Found a block with some 110 v breakers, for "large appliances and the AC units, and a bunch of 12 v fuses for lights and stuff, but no
"ship / shore" switch.
My 37c is an '03 frame and an '04 coach, so must be early in the '04 run.
Did they do a mid run change ?

This is the only picture I have. It's the box attached to the back of the breaker/fuse panel under the wooden spoon. This is the replacement at amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

P.S. I was using the spoon and some zip ties to keep the contacts together to get generator power to the ACs until we got home and could replace it...

Here's the picture...

Thanks so much. I did find it under the bathroom sink but I think that is too many wires for me to tackle. I'll take it to Andy's RV repair.

Just an FYI, For anyone who has an older model Fleetwood Pace Arrow as we do (1994). Our transfer switch went out on us on our very 1st trip as a newbee, We finally found it behind the breaker, fuse panel below the refrigerator. Had it replaced and fixed in Panama City thanks to the Camp host who had a list of repair guys and places to contact incase a camper needed help. We were camping at the state park Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island, FL. Hope this will help someone else.
