So I cycled the chassy cut off and then Gen switched over put have no power in front of MH for TV and Other plugs in front all other 110 works ok only way to get power to front is to turn on 1000 Watt inverter then I have power till I turn it off. Any help on this
Thank You

two things to check...
your genny likely has two circuit breakers on the genny itself. check to be sure that neither is tripped.
and check to see if a GFCI inside the coach and/or inside a storage compartment has tripped.

try resetting the GFCI on the inverter. there should be a reset button in the middle of the outlet. press it and the light should go on and your TV will work.

There seems to be no power because you can not reset GFI unless you turn on inverter. If I remembr it did have 110 on outlet with inverter off. I have reset all breakers and checked all 12 volts breakers.

Wyatt53, check the wiring in the transfer switch box. Sounds like you may have a loose wire there. The transfer switch does not use 12VDC from the coach. It uses the power supplied by the shore power line or the generator.

I checked all the wiring in the transfer box everything is tight and I found to get the power to front plugs which I don't think is right but maybe somebody else can comment on this you have to power up the inverter reset plug then when I turn off inverter I have power to the front of coach

Wyatt53Is there any error showing at the inverter remote panel? What is the color of the status light with shore power connected and when not connected?
When connected to shore power or running the Gen (status light green) it does not make any difference whether the inverter is on or off the internal bypass should feed 110vac through the inverter.
When shore power is not connected and Gen not running (status light yellow) the inverter must be turned on at the remote to feed power.
If the GFI on the recept on the front of the inverter is tripped it will not pass power with or without shore power.
Don't understand "power up the inverter reset plug".

Wyatt53, When is the GFI on the front of the inverter tripping? Attached is a drawing of the recepts the inverter feeds. Unplug all of the devices plugged in and see what happens.

There is usually a fusible link between your battery bank and your inverter. Check to make sure that isn't blown
