Hello all!
**Disclaimer- I am just trying to help get information. I am learning, please don't bash me for something just because I can "find it in the manual" I find asking real human beings with experience is better for me then readying a book.
We are getting our KZ Sportster ready for my son's winter MX racing series here in Texas. I was in the process of cleaning the floors with the vacuum when I became aware that with the generator on, the outlets, microwave, & bedroom ac unit would not turn on/have no power. The RV was last used a few weeks ago but was plugged in to power & not powered by the generator. My husband is understanding that he needs to trace the wiring and check for loose connections, fuses, use the volt meter, etc. I am just curious if this has happened to anyone else and what insight someone may have in this matter. Thank you for your time! =0)

Welcome to the forum. No problem answering questions here, we have none of that internet snark. First off, and most likely: check the breakers on the generator itself. Next, verify operation of the transfer switch- (assuming you have one), if not, did the generator get plugged in?

Thank you for the kind and prompt response! We have 12v power and the "living room" a/c unit works when running the generator. The generator we have is an Onan Cummins WFCO T-57-R. Transfer switch clicks after a delay but no green status light led.

OK, so one A/C works, the other doesn't? And you have some outlets that have no power? If all that is correct, one of two things. One leg of the generator has either failed our the breaker tripped. The other and more likely is the transfer switch (that's the WFCO T57-R) has failed, in that it is not connecting both legs.
