Sorry to jump into the discussion here, but I've been reading this thread for a few hours this morning, and haven't found the answer to my question quite yet. With regards to this Champion 3000/3500 remote start generator, I also bought one from Costco a couple weeks ago. I'll be using it for the first time this weekend, but I was wondering about the remote start feature. Since it has a remote start, I would assume that it is designed to be started with an RV already plugged into, otherwise, you might as well just start it at the generator when you plug in your power cable. So the question is, is there any sort of design feature that will disconnect the load of the RV before start up and before shut down...while you are plugged in? I have always been told that you need to let the generator run a few minutes before adding a load, and also kill the load and let it run a few minutes before it shuts down.
If I have to go plug in and unplug the shore cord from my RV every day before I start it up and shut it down, the remote start really isn't much of a benefit. This question has probably been discussed already, so I apologize for bringing it up again.
Thanks,
Jeff
