2012 Itsaca Sunstar generator

When I start the generator it trips the GFI for all the 120V on the MTH.
Do I take it to a Winnie dealer or a generator shop?
Any help or advice would be great! Thanks!

Before blaming the generator, I would make sure there is nothing plugged into the receptacles. Unless there is nothing plugged in I would look beyond the generator. After making sure there aren't any appliances, heaters, cell phone or computer chargers plugged in, if it still does it then it may be the generator. It is very unlikely though. Do all the GFCI receptacles trip?

All 120V outlets work on shore power. If I start the generator while still plugged in to shore power they still work.

I'm thinking your problem is in the transfer switch or the generator not switching the neutral/ground bond.
