Air Conditioner not working on Generator

We have a 2018 Precept 31UL. After camping over the 4th on shore power without issue, I cannot get the roof air conditioners to run on the generator. Have run them successfully a few time prior to this trip. Reading the manual says the transfer switch for the gen requires no manual action. Checked all the breakers. Anyone know how to solve?

If the geny breakers aren't tripped either it's not putting out power or you have a bad transfer switch.

Thanks, Grumpy! Your mention of gen breakers caused me to call my dealer, Colerain. I had checked the internal breaker panel, but didn’t know the gen had 2 of its own 30 amp breakers under an access panel on the gen itself. All is well now thanks to your inspiration and their good guidance.

2021 Jayco A/C stopped working

A/C no longer working on generator. Unable to hook up to 50 amp service at the present. Checked fuse panel, nothing is showing blown. Shut the entire RV down, turned on generator, turned on main house power, turned on investor ... still no A/C Can someone help!

Do you have power to other things? As mentioned above did you check the breaker(s) on the front of the geny, under the access panel?

I found this forum after about 20-30 others when our ac was working on plugged in power but not generator power. I can’t say how thankful I am that I found out that there was a breaker on the generator.
Thank you so much!!!
