I have a 2006 Attitude 26’ FSAK... on shore power everything works as it should. As of recently, When running off the gen only my 220 works. I assume the transfer switch has failed, all the breakers are good wiring good, here is my issue. I CANNOT for the life of me, find the ATS anywhere. I’m searched forums, google, phoned a friend and nada. The generator has no outlets and there is no plug like there is on the weekend warrior that I can just manually plug in. I’ve look on the back of inverter, under the fridge, behind access panels, in the cabinets under the bed, under and behind the stove, etc etc. I tried to follow the shore power cable. It goes from
Exterior plug, inside the trailer, connects to an 4x4 electrical box and then back into the wall where I cannot continue tracing it. Can anyone help me locate the automatic transfer switch. Please and thank you!

What does " only my 220 works" mean ?

Have you checked the breakers on the generator ?

The ATS is often on the converter/ fuse/ breaker box.

All the breakers are good both on the gen and the fuse panel/breaker box. I tripped them manually and reset just incase. I cannot find the ATS anywhere near there. Apparently there was a post on another forum where a guy couldn’t locate his in the exact same toyhauler, however, his problem apparently went away and he didn’t need to locate it anymore so that was of no help lol

And to answer the 220 question. The AC works but no lights, plugs, or anything else thay runs on standard 110v.

The ACs in RVs, along with almost everything else, are all 120 volts.

Some high end MHs have 240 volt clothes dryers but that's it.

Do you have an inverter ( creates 120 volts from batteries ) in your rig ?

They have breakers on them and would not run the ACs, but would power the small things.

There is an inverter we checked that too. The big issue is everything works on shore power but not on gen power. Everyone we have talked to points to the ATS, so my main issue is finding where the ATS is hiding to at least test and or replace.
