Second or Even Third Generator Remote Switch

Wondering if anyone has ever had a second generator start switch installed. Seems like it would be easier to have a switch in the cockpit area and even one outside the coach (other than the one on the generator itself). Is this something that could be done? It seems DW has issues getting the genny started when were on the road, my only starting switch is mid-coach.

Does anybody make a wireless remote starting system for generators? My only switch is on the dash and when boon docking I often go to bed and watch TV with the generator running. Before I fall asleep I have to go walk up front to turn it off. Would be nice to have a wireless remote switch so it can be turned on and off from anyplace.

Our 96 Southwind has a generator switch on the dashboard in addition to the one on the generator.
I don't think it would be a problem adding a switch in the cockpit area.
Hopefully an electrician or someone familiar with generator wiring will have a better answer.
