    Default MAYDAY! My Auto Power Transfer Switched fried

    Hello Friends,

    We became Full-Timers 11 days ago and last night we lost all AC power while hooked up in a park near Ft Smith Arkansas( 50 amp).
    We've been here a week and it's hot and we been running AC's etc but no issues or tripped breakers. When everything went dead I first
    checked the shore power connection, ok breaker not tripped power still hot at the post.
    Then, when I opened the 3rd bay from the front, passenger side) got a cloud of smoke and that burnt wiring aroma we all love.
    On the left wall of my 2000 Country Coach is the ATS ( auto power transfer switch) the box was very,very warm. I shut everything
    off. Today, I removed the small refrigerator that was blocking my access to investigate.
    I found a Todd Engineering Power Switch Model PS262S, Inside I could see several wires burnt to a crisp and bare copper exposed.
    Oh BOY!, If you've been down this road and can offer any advice I'd appreciate it. I assume I'll need to find a repair tech/shop and get
    it replaced. I am concerned with availability of a replacement that will be compatible with the rest of the system.
    Please tell me what you know on this subject, I think we'll move to a motel until I can sort things out.

    Thanks,

    Barney
