Actually my understanding is, that's exactly how it's supposed to work. I have auto start on my panel and I set it to a threshold for the HVAC. If I am away, no shore power and temps climb high enough to start the HVAC, if auto start HVAC is on, it should start the gen. That's one of it's main purposes aside form keeping batts charged.
OP, make sure everything is set up to actually turn the genset on, more than 1/4 tank of fuel in the RV, batts are charged etc. Manually start it and ensure it runs the AC.
Per the manual on my C: selecting “Auto Gen Start Enable” on the Multiplex display and then pressing “on”. You will also need to make sure that the “HVAC Load” button is activated will then see a warning screen listing the safety issues associated with AGS usage. You are required to acknowledge these warnings by pressing and holding a button for 3 seconds or longer to enable AGS.
