Not getting any amperage from shore power or generator

We changed locations yesterday. When we pulled out everything was fine. Arrived at a difficult campground hooked up. We have a 2016 Tiffin 45OP all electric coach. My wife started to cook and stove would not one on. Checked the watchdog via Bluetooth and had good voltage but wasnt getting any amps. Checked the ME-RC and was inverting to supply power to coach. Started Generator with no change. Would not charge batteries. Checked transfer switch and have 120v on both sides of switch and 240 across red and black. Went to fuse panel have 240 bolts on red to black and 120 on each leg. Still not getting any amperage through watch dog. Removed watch dog with no changes. Stumped.

is the problem that only the electric stove will not come on? do the other 120 volt devices work (microwave, air conditioners, ceiling fans, tv, etc)? if you have power coming into the breaker panel then the various 120 volt devices should work. have you checked the breaker for the stove circuit?

Appliances outlets

Sorry for not enough info. The outlets work but they are being powered from the inverter. (Have night lights checking them). For example still connected to shorepower same outlet as night light coffee pot will change inverter to ~130 amp draw from batteries. ( Had to go buy coffee). Refrigerator runs fine but I believe everything being powered from batteries.

Just to clarify, no AC power to anything (Microwave, AC outlets...)? Sounds like you have AC power out of the ATS once you plug in to shore power. I'm sure you've probably eliminated any issue between the pole and the coach. Just for the fun of it, you could shut everything down, eliminate the Power Watchdog and then see if that helps.

There is a small button on front of Magnum. I have turned that off and back on. There is a green light directly above that that is blinking.
