An option to get you home so that you can spend time finding the ats you want at a decent price is to wire the generator source direct bypassing the ats and then just don't plug in overnight.

 Last year, we took a hit of something (from somewhere) that fried the ATS. Our tech could not find the original replacement, but got one out of Canada that fit (sorta). If you want, I'll look in my files to find the brand he got.  I DO know, it was a CB++++ to replace it, since the shore power cable ends and the connection @ the coach were fried, as well. We now have a EMS.

I found a replacement ATS at a local RV supply ($225) and plan to install it shortly. I'm still cleaning up the "stuff" from the clogged toilet. While I was away buying the ATS a woman staying in my FT used the toilet and it got stopped up. In a desperate, and wrong, move I used a plunger, sending the stuff over a small "holding tank"... So now I've pulled the carpet back and used a shop vac to get most of the moisture out and a fan to keep it from spoiling. WOW, what a day, and I still haven't replaced the ATS.
I did find something odd in the commode; there is a white plastic ring that moves around below the flush flapper. It appears to be something either broken or that's come loose in there. I guess removing the toilet is the next step. I'll do that once home.

Ditto - any place with septic/holding tank. Plastic grocery bags work like a champ & tie up nicely....

I had the same thing happen on the ring above the flush flapper. When you would flush, it would separate and then come back together when the flapper reseated. Drained the commode, pulled the fuse that activates the flapper( a trick in timing just right) dried it up real good,(used a hair dryer) glued it with gorilla glue, let it set overnight. Seemed to work. Good luck.

Just a note:  I have purchased a timing gear, flapper, water solenoid and gaskets from Sue at: Mullaney & Associates

I did glue a part for short term fix.  A few days later when the parts arrived I installed them.

Install instructions came with all parts.

Call Sue before you pull the toilet she might have a solution???
