Re: 1985 Southwind Transfer Switch by Bob
Post New Message Ken- I had a similar problem on my '85 Coachmen, which is on a P30 chassis. I think I may have inadvertently caused the problem by having the shore line plugged in and cranking up the generator at the same time. The result was no AC power to the house part. What the tech told me was that I had blown the transfer switch, which was located separately under the kitchen sink, mounted on the back wall. His advice, since I wasn't too excited about spending $300 on a new switch and who knows how much on the labor to install it, was to simply bypass the switch, which I did. I installed a plug-in in the shore line compartment, disconnected the feed wire from the generator where it entered the transfer switch, and ran it over to the new plug-in. Now, when I want generator power, I plug the shore line into my new plug-in and fire up the generator. A plus is that it is impossible to make the same mistake that I made before to blow the transfer switch. PS. I still get Generator power to the converter so the house battery gets a charge too. Hope this helps.
