HELP!! I have a 2020 Momentum 351M. I am wondering why, when i plug the camper into any other generator that is not the onboard one, such as a Predator 3500 it will not power anything on in my camper? It won't even charge the batteries. Is there something that i am missing? Is there a reason that my unit is not acknowledging any other generator as a power source?

Possibly Curtis OffToHavasu will chime in with any other thoughts as he owns a 351 as well. He also has a deep electrical background as his career.
Thanks, in advance Curtis !

Just walked through that issue with my 351MS. Mine has a Progressive Industries HW50C with remote readout. The remote also has a bypass switch. That switch will enable you to use an alternate generator that would typically not have a bonded neutral. Progressive Industries does NOT offer the plug solution anymore for some reason. So, bottom line, bypass the EMS for power to the RV. Since portable generators have their own clean power protection, an EMS is not necessary.
