Edward Buker:
Don,

It could be the transfer switch or it could be the wiring between the switch and the panel. My transfer switch is a grey box approx 10 inch by 10 inch box on the ceiling of the storage bay near the inverter. (2002 Marquis) I would plug into shore power and remove the cover of the transfer switch. You will find two large relays. One is fed by the power cord and the other by the generator. The output of these relays is in parallel and feeds the main panel. Measure the relay input side (the one that is not in parallel)
and see if both the red to white and black to white measure 120V. You could check the same thing with the generator running on the other relay. If the 120V is there on both legs then measure the output side of the relays. If 120V is not present on each leg then you have a bad tranfer relay. If 120V is present on both legs, (black to white and red to white) then check the voltage at the main panel. If there is not 120V on each leg in the panel then the wire that feeds the panel has an open somewhere and will need to have an alternate wire run to the box unless a junction box and a loose connection is involved and repaired. I have enclosed a photo of the relays to identify what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
Later Ed
