If i fire up the generator everthing works fine...

can someone help??
This is a difficult one is diagnose. If you have a meter and are comfortable with getting into your circuit breaker box and are familiar with the breaker box wiring. You can take the face/cover off the front of your box and plug the coach power cord into 110 volt source at your home, check to see if you have 110 volts on both legs/bars of you breaker box.

If you are not familiar with 110 volt wiring then don't do it!!

I suspect, if everything works when you run the generator including all plugs/outlets, that there is a problem with your power cord, since the transfer switch is working when the generator is used.

The one thing that gets me is the furnace since it is actually 12 volt powered and it should work when you are unplugged from any 110 volt source.

Are your house batteries up to full charge and are being charged when plugged in?

Also, do you have a Xantrex inverter?

It would help if you would put what coach you have in you signature so that we know.
