RDMike, just had a long discussion on this in one of the other RV forums for the same reasons you want it. Turns out that Fleetwood didn't connect what was needed in that era. Mine is a 2007 40X.
A chap did a lot of research on it and figured out how to wire it but it involves running a wire from the back of the rig to the EC30 panel and some other stuff that's beyond me. If you care, I'll see if I can find a link to it but it won't be for a few days because we're going to a CG where web is tough to access.
Thanks Belgique, I was wondering, why a simple transformer, 120Vac to 12vdc connected at the nearest AC source would not do the trick? (Providing the AC source is not connected to any inverter source.) Once there is no power to the AC source, the EC 30 would sense this through no 12VDC input and start the Gen set on a HVAC demand?
I am just wondering why the wiring would need to be run from the back of the rig?
My next step will be to open up the EC30 and see if there are any wires attached to terminals 13 & 14. As the coach might be wired for it, yet no sensor.
