Shore power and generator
I have a 2014 Winnebago class A with a Onan generator. Just wondering if I can start and run generator while I'm plugged into 50amp service. Just want to make sure it won't ruin anything. THANKS

I was reading the manual on the Onan autostart, and in one mode it actually starts and runs daily for two hours, right before quiet time (preset) to recharge the batteries for the night. It would do this as a hot transfer in both directions between the inverter and generator and it is completely automatic. I wouldn't necessarily call that an emergency use only.
Why would it auto start to charge batteries if you are plugged in to shore power. Doesn't that also charge the batteries? I may very well be missing something as my system is nowhere near this sophisticated.
he was using a situation where hes not on Shore power ( a bit off topic but pretty obvious what situation hes referring to)so yes your missing something for sure
