Is it possible for a generator to self-start? Motorhome was in driveway, plugged in to 50 amp. service, nothing running but refrigerator. Awoke to discover generator running. Thoughts please?
Yes, generators can be set to 'auto-start'. I can set ours to immediately start if shore power is lost or I can set it to come on if the batteries reach a certain level.
Is your generator set to come on with the auto-start feature? If not, you might have a problem with your transfer switch (guessing).
You didn't mention what type of generator you have (brand?).
