I just installed an
Onan EC-30W Auto Start (includes quiet time settings)....havent really had a chance to exercise it yet...but....
it monitors the battery voltage & will automatically start the gen to charge the batteries, should they get too "low" - the EC-30W is "aware" of quiet time & will charge the batteries prior to quiet time, if necessary.
in particular we wanted the
EC-30W as a means of starting the generator should we suffer a loss of shore power or if there is an Air Conditioning (or heat) Demand situation (gets too hot or too cold inside the coach) - this allows us to add a margin of safety when traveling with our OLD English Sheep Dog (we try not to leave her).
We're often "camped" track side & while we can (sometimes) find shore power (120v 15a) - I've found that power at race tracks can be questionable at best. I've installed a Progressive Industries
EMS-LCHW50C to protect us from over/under voltage & wiring/polarity problems (and yes i have encountered wiring & voltage problems) !
