Transfer Switch in Toy Hauler

Turned generator on in camper no 110 volt items in camper work. Plug camper into 110 volt outlet and all 110 volt items work. Would my Transfer Switch be bad?

Could be. With the generator running, give the transfer switch a little love tap

Check to make sure the breaker on the generator is not tripped. I flip it Off/On just to make sure.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

I would suspect the breakers on the generator! Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

About transfer switches; switching power sources while running heavy load appliances, air conditioners, etc. is hard on them. A heavy load creates an arc between contacts, which burns them and likely causes pitting. This can cause the contacts to "weld" together. IMO it is best to turn off all high-draw appliance first, then switch power sources.
That said, I suspect Joe is right, since you didn't mention checking generator breakers.
