Generator sort of works

[motoxbob]

Keeping my RV at a park for the summer. I ran the generator once last month and this month also to exercise it. I unhooked from shore power and ran the a/c and microwave off the generator.  However, none of the wall outlets worked. When I shut the a/c and hooked back up to the park everything worked fine. Any thoughts about why this would happen?

Unlikely but could one of the breakers on your genny be tripped?
I do not know what genny you have so it is a guess at best.
But one of your outlets works because the microwave worked and it is most likely plugged in.

Thanks darsben you were right on. I got down there and pulled the cover and breaker was tripped. All fixed now thanks again.

I can not tell you how many times it has happened to me.
