New transfer switch
#3

Not a good idea to turn the gen off with the AC running. Bestgenman educated me on that one. The generator control mechanism doesn't know the engine is shutdown, and tries to maintain the voltage while the engine is shutting down. It puts undue strain on the generator. Plus it can cause arcing and pitting of the contacts in the transfer switch if switching under the heavy load of the ACs.

Marc, that 45 sec delay is usually the protection system going through it's routine of checking out the voltage, frequency, and polarity before allowing the coach to connect to shore power. Perhaps, the software is now quicker. But do check to ensure you still have a voltage protection system.
