External generators need signal wire to trigger ATS, which is only connected to onboard genset. Solutions include manual bypass switch, simulating the run signal, or universal voltage-sensing ATS.
Your RV ATS isn't transferring shore power to your AC system due to likely faulty internal contactors or control board issues. This typically requires professional repair as ATS units contain high-voltage components and complex switching mechanisms.
Firefly conflicts with Victron due to waveform differences. Dual transfer switches isolate systems. Auto Gen Start may need Victron-based triggering. Professional installation recommended.
For Grand Design TT's prewired inverter loop with 10/2 Romex, top 2000W pure sine wave inverters include Victron MultiPlus, AIMS Power, and Go Power models. Choose internal ATS for simplicity or external for flexibility.
