Yesterday we pulled into our site (air temp 95 degrees) and I plugged in our 50 amp cord. My wife said she could hear a buzzing under the floor in our alpenlite 5th wheel. I unplugged the cord and the buzzing quit. I plugged the cord in again and we had no power. I then started our onan generator and we had power. I then checked our site hookup and there was 120 volts on each leg of the female outlet. With the generator off, I plugged the 50 amp cord back in and we had power for about forty seconds and by wife heard a loud click. The power was out so I climbed in the belly of the trailer and had a look see. I took the cover plate off the generator transfer switch box and it smells burnt. To replace this box looks like something I can do but before doing this I am wondering what would cause this to happen. It looks like an expensive part and I would hate to replace it and then fry the new one. Has anyone experienced this problem? Thanks, Dave
