RV electrical problems often stem from faulty transfer switches, loose connections, or blown breakers in the main panel. Most 120V shore power issues can be diagnosed by checking the transfer switch operation, main breaker panel, and power distribution connections systematically.
Your Onan 5500 generator's fuel pump chatter and dual light illumination indicates a control board communication error triggered by the remote harness connection. This comprehensive guide covers diagnosis, repair steps, and prevention strategies for all common Onan 5500 issues.
Your modified sine wave Xantrex 758 likely caused the hair dryer malfunction due to waveform incompatibility with sensitive electronics. While some devices work fine with modified sine wave inverters, modern residential refrigerators, computers, and electronics require pure sine wave power to prevent damage and ensure proper operation.
The RC7-GS inverter charger can properly charge 105Ah AGM batteries using the 125Ah setting, as AGM charging is voltage-based, not capacity-dependent. Generator start issues typically stem from wiring problems or incorrect DIP switch configurations.

Keep your RV generator running reliably with this comprehensive maintenance and troubleshooting guide for Onan, Generac, and Cummins units.
Your chassis A/C cycling above 2800 RPM is likely caused by high head pressure from insufficient airflow at highway speeds, low refrigerant despite proper charge, or the PCM cutting A/C during high load conditions - this is normal protective behavior on Ford V10 engines.
Since you have 12VDC at the connector and tried a different module, the door magnetic switch is likely your culprit. You can test it with a multimeter by checking for continuity when the door opens and closes.
