1988 pt40 Power Problems
We just tried to see if anything different would happen if we started
up the generator, but same thing. Still no power to most of the coach
and no lights or readings on upper dash pannel. Thanks for your help!

Was shore power off when you ran the generator?

No, but I switched the dial to generator power.

I do not know which on takes precedence and I don't have my prints at home.
Turn off the park power, start the generator and if you get two legs through
the transfer switch then I would be suspicious of the park power side of the
transfer switch. If you do not get 2 legs then I would do what Curt suggested
and check the main breaker integrity for leg 1. I'm just trying to come up the
line from the park power to the breaker box from memory.

Gez, I do not have a dial. Missed that. Does the dial manually change the
power source in your coach from shore power to generator power? If so, I would
head to the breaker panel.

Hmmm.. First check to see if you have both legs at the gally panel
where each leg has a green light and a voltmeter. Then check on the
front overhead voltmeters for each leg and see if you have it there.
If not check both sides of the 50amp breakers to see if you have power there.
