thanks for the info. I know about the quite gensets. Had a Monaco signature and we boondocked a lot.
so I guess with the all-electric coaches there would be an auto start on the gen set if batteries get to low. Correct?
Most newer all electrics have auto start.
Another point is that with LED lighting, you would only need to run the genset a few hours a day.
If you run AC you have to run genset anyway.
Quiet Diesels don’t run at a fixed RPM; they change RPM to meet load.
The 5000, 5500, and 7000 W Onans run at 1800 fixed.
The little 4000 runs at a noisey 3600.
My QD6000 unit is water cooled and inverter (variable RPM) genrator. We have a Magnum Energy AGS system that starts the generator it the coach becomes too hot or if the batteries are too low.
