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?
The 120 volt source also can't be connected to a source that the running generator would supply in some versions of the EC30. This may be the reason the wiring needs to go all the way to the back, to get to a shore power source.
You make a good point. Wasn't thinking it through. The genset would give me power to my AC outlet thus turn off /on (cycle) the genset. Back to the drawing board!
