Furrion's transfer switch is wired to automatically change the primary source of AC current from shore power or an inverter to a generator when available. So, in the case that you unexpectedly lose shore power, the switch will automatically begin to run power to your RV's appliances from your generator.
The switch between power sources is seamless to the point that you won't even notice the difference in power being sent to your appliances and electronics. The 50-amp single pole switch provides 120V or 250V AC. To prevent electrical interruptions or damage to the system, the time delay function utilizes a 20-30 second window to switch between power sources. This protects against dangerous backfeed, and keeps the voltage from each power source from being active at the same time.
The time delay function features a bypass switch for inverter power. Since an inverter doesn't need time to warm up like a generator does, you can bypass the time delay for instant transfer from shore power to inverter power.
The plastic case has 15 punch-out holes which allow you to arrange the cables and wiring in whatever way is best for your setup. The included user manual lays out 3 typical setups for you.
The switch wires to your shore power input and generator or inverter input. Both inputs are wired to the AC panel.

I was replacing a 22 year old transfer switch of the same model. So, installation was straight forward. Etrailer shipped the transfer switch quickly. The price was very competitive. Very happy with the customer service.

Was easy to install and functions fine after one year. The unit hums rather loudly when it's on and since it's behind a kitchen cabinet the humming is very audible inside the unit.

The part come in a timely manner was packaged well and was less expensive than Amazon I will be using the transfer switch on a rv solar conversion

Added this when I upgraded my camper to run on full battery power. Rerunning my electrical through this transfer switch made the process so much easier now when it detects shore power lost it auto changes to battery power. Very easy to install.

Easy to install solved problems we were having

Exactly same as unit as originally installed one that got “fried” by power surge. Hopefully I will be smart enough to keep surge protector on in future so won’t have same thing again.

Works great
by: Matt03/17/2022
I did not have high hopes for the Furrion brand. All other Furrion brand products i have used the past are of low quality.
The switch has a humm to it that can be heard in the trailer. The unit is mounted in storage compartment. It does work as described. The wiring instructions are lacking good information. I really don't have any viable complaints yet.
by: Peggy R12/21/2019
I bought two of these when my brother and cousin upgraded my RV electrical system from 30 to 50 amp. One for the generator and one for the inverter. They “dummy proofed “ it by using two. It’s been over a year and no problems. ETrailer delivered quickly and sent everything I needed to get the job done right (except for the brother and cousin who were willing to do the installations!

Exact same product at a fair price
by: James 06/28/2021
Exact replacement for my Class A RV. Straight forward install. TIP: you need to turn off 50 amp breaker for unit too function properly. This is not clearly stated in instructions
by: Douglas 09/09/2020
Orginal one the shore power side got fused open. Unable to charge or plug in. Weekend order. Payed for fast shipping and got just that.
by: Timothy08/21/2019
shipping was a bit slow in receiving but got all wired up in my RV this morning, everything fit perfectly, hopefully this Furrion replacement lasts longer than the original one!

This product was delivered quickly. I was able to do a direct replacement with my original transfer switch.

I installed your product last year. The unit was under the bed which made it difficult to get too. The biggest problem was there was no grommets for the wires. Since I was at a RV park I cut out the olds and installed them into the new unit. This was a very lengthy difficult process. If I had known I would ordered new ones too. On there that the unit is working great.

- Does Entire Automatic Transfer Switch Box Need to be ReplacedYou will indeed need to replace the entire box of the automatic transfer switch as opposed to just the switch portion. There are two options for this, either a 30 amp or 50 amp transfer switch: - 30 Amp: Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F30ATS - 50 Amp: Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS
view full answer... - Hooking Up the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS to Home Electrical SystemI reached out to Furrion directly they mentioned that the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS will automatically switch to the lead it is connected to when shore power is dropped, but you will need to manually turn the generator off or secondary power off and switch it. This will not start your generator and turn it off when you lose power or power is restored.
view full answer... - Is the Furrion Transfer Switch 50 Amp Compatible with Home Use?The Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 50 Amp - 125/250V # F50ATS utilizes the same power as your house, however you would want to check with a licensed electrician to make sure it meets the housing code criteria for your area. It is UL 94 and UL 1008 certified.

view full answer... - Recommended Control Center And Automatic Transfer Switch For School Bus ConversionI would be happy to make some recommendations for adding 12v and 120v power to your school bus conversion. I recommend the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4560K18LS8 which will be the central power hub for all of your electrical connections to be made. You will be able to hook up your shore power connector, generator connection, and will even work with solar power as you mentioned wanting to add in the future. The built in converter...
view full answer... - What Would Cause Vehicle Battery in 2018 Ford F450 Thor Motorhome To Be Dead After Using Shore PowerMan I'm sorry to hear that! I don't see how a Furrion 50 amp transfer switch # F50ATS would cause this issue though, as your vehicle battery should not be able to be drained from your house batteries, and your vehicle battery should not be hooked up to a transfer switch like the Furrion unit. Did you recently have the transfer switch installed? If so I'd verify that it was wired correctly by checking out the included instructions, because shore power should not affect your vehicle battery...

view full answer... - Automatic Transfer Switch Recommendation for a 5,500 Watt Onan GeneratorSince the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS is only rated for 3,750 watts I recommend going with the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34270278 instead. I reached out and confirmed with my contact at Go Power that this transfer switch will work with your 5,500 watt Onan generator. Attached are some review videos for you to check out!

view full answer... - Recommended 50 Amp Transfer Switch For a Tiffin Zephyr With 10KW GeneratorI recommend installing the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS you found on your 42' Tiffin Zephyr. I prefer this unit as it has the durable plastic case which is less likely to have issues from power shorts than others which use a steel case. I have linked the installation instructions below which will help you to see what is involved.
view full answer... - Is There A Transfer Switch Available For 50 Amp Service And A 30 Amp Generator The transfer switches that we currently offer are either rated for 30 amp or 50 amp service and can't function properly if wired to a different amperage rating. For example, if your motorhome had 50 amp service and you installed the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS and then wired a 30 amp generator to it, it wouldn't sense the generator since it's not putting out 50 amps for it to kick the switch over. The only option would be to plug the shore power cord into the generator using...
view full answer... - Can I Use 50 Amp Transfer Switch With 30 Amp RV SetupIt is possible to use a 50 Amp transfer switch with a 30 amp setup since you plan on upgrading in the future however, the Furrion Transfer 50 Amp Switch is made for 50 Amp setups. I recommend to use Progressive Dynamics 50 Amp Transfer Switch part # PD52. This 50 Amp transfer switch will allow you to hook up the 30 Amp shore power to the HOT 1 connection in the box. When you decide to upgrade to a 50 amp setup, you will use HOT 1 and HOT 2.
view full answer... - Will Furrion Transfer Switch Automatically Switch Between Generator and SolarYes the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch part # F50ATS would automatically switch between your power sources so that you would not have to worry about having two AC power sources running to your trailer's power setup.

- Furrion Fridge Not Receiving Power From Outlets When Towing After speaking with Furrion they believe that since the outlet is working but not powering the fridge that the transfer switch has to be the cause of your issues. We have a replacement for you which I've listed below: Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 50 Amp - 125/250V Item # F50ATS.
view full answer... - Wiring 50 Amp Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch With Inverter as Primary SourceSo with the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger # 34275013 as the primary source, what you will do is wire the shore power to Input 2 and the Inverter to Input 1 on the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 50 Amp # F50ATS.
view full answer... - Can Transfer Switch be Added Between Two Outlets on RVYou certainly could install a transfer switch between the two outlets that you plan to have on your RV and the part # F50ATS would work well as a 50 amp transfer switch.
view full answer... - Choosing A Transfer Switch For A 50 Amp Service Trailer With A 30 Amp Generator With your trailer having 50 amp service you would have to go with a 50 amp transfer switch like the Furrion # F50ATS you were looking at. Unfortunately since the generator is only 30 amps it wouldn't trigger the transfer switch with the lower amperage. You would need to either hardwire in a 50 amp generator to the transfer switch or plug your trailer's shore power cable to the 30 amp generator using an adapter in order to power the trailer.
view full answer... - Torque Specs for Terminal Screws on Furrion Automatic Transfer SwitchYou will want to tighten the terminal screws on the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS to the range of 20 - 24 in/lbs according to the Furrion instructions (linked to this answer page). Attached is a review video for you to check out.

Most generator inverters will use a 30 amp generator cord, so you will use the Mighty Cord Generator Adapter for RV Power Cord - 50 Amp Female to 30 Amp Twist Lock Male # A10-G30450VP and then power cord # A10-5025ED. This cord is the shortest we carry at 25 feet long. This combination will allow you to power your refrigerator from...
view full answer... - Does Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series Come with Transfer SwitchThe Progressive Dynamics panel part # PD4590K18LS8 does not have a transfer switch built into it so you would need to wire one in like with the Furrion part # F50ATS.
view full answer... - Can a Solar Power System Be Used To Keep Residential Refrigerator Cold On a 5TH Wheel Camper?There are some considerations you will need to determine to determine if you will be able to power your refrigerator without the generator. First you need to understand that your Battery # BRW34FR is what will ultimately determine how long your refrigerator will be able to stay cold. One Group 24 battery which is generally what is installed in most 5th wheel campers will provide 75 amp hours. Depending on your RV manufacturer you may have a 2nd battery with an inverter already going to...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting A Transfer Switch Making A Buzzing Sound The terminal screws of your Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 50 Amp - 125/250V # F50ATS could just be loose causing the buzzing sound. The sound you hear is an audible signal that the electrical current is jumping a gap across metal connections that aren't in firm contact so I recommend disconnecting the shore power to your RV and tightening each screw. If this does not solve the issue then this is a signal that your transfer switch may need to be replaced.
view full answer... - Can A Furrion 50 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch Replace An Elkhart LPT50MRD Transfer Switch Hi Les, The Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch # F50ATS will be a compatible replacement for your Elkhart LPT50MRD transfer switch. That being said, a 4000w Magnum inverter would wire into your main panel and a sub panel and would automatically kick on to power the sub panel when shore power is lost. Transfer switches like the # F50ATS are for switching between generator and shore power. Your inverter is only putting out 30 amp service so the 50 amp transfer switch would never sense the...
