generator runs fine but no AC power
We're dry camping in our coach and I fired up the generator no problem, however, when I put the switch into "generator power" position, I get no AC power.
Where do you think I should begin to look?
Thanks.

Check on the generator head for a circuit breaker.

Glenn, if you have the 12.5 Kohler, she's right on top. Some have an access panel on the floor otherwise drag her out. There are fuses as well. I think Steve (Prairieschooner) is the man on this subject.

If the blower fan is running when the generator runs the breaker is probably on since I think it runs that way.
Checking the transfer switch is a good idea.

Fellas, thanks for the follow up. Yes, the generator problem was fixed. The breaker switch on the generator box had tripped off. I probably shut the generator down with AC's running, which I read can cause the breaker to trip.
Thanks, you guys are great.

I second that, it's always nice when it works out that way.
