Auto start on generator

Question

Does anyone have an auto start on their RV so as to start and run the generator when battery voltage drops to a certain level?? I know some MHs probably come factory with them being they are diesel and injected which usually spells easy start, but looking more at an after market or non-factory setup. Good, bad, expensive, easy or hard to setup or install?

Onan EC-30 came on my MH...tested it 13 years ago and have never used it since. Guess I need to see if it still works.

Would be great if you only boondock, but if you're in a CG with posted generator hours and it kicks on, someone may show up at your door telling you to turn it off.
