Connect Atwood AC-1351 to AGS
I recently received my new toy hauler that was custom built. One feature I wanted was to have the generator automatically start when the roof top AC unit comes on. To do this I had the installer put...

My DIY budget minded brain points me toward this solution. There may be a more elegant electronic solution but this would work:
1.Rewire the ACs to 120V breakers and off the inverters.
2.Depending on the input voltage needed by the AGS, use a relay tapped off the thermostat cool signal to trigger the AGS. Wire these parallel with each AC so either will start the gen.
3.On said thermostat cool signal wire(s), run these through time delay relays to the AC units, so that the generator will be up to speed and transferred before trying to start the ACs. (3-5 min should be plenty)
