Tiffin owners, is this true

[Huskerblue]

This blogger states his 2017 Allegro 32SA has a 2000 watt inverter that feeds all the 120 receptacles and microwave and that if the batteries run low the 7.0 generator automatically kicks on. Is this true? I haven't seen this anywhere else. Perhaps he has done some aftermarket mods? Thanks, we're looking at moving up from our 13 year old 26.5 Lazy Daze as we approach retirement and look to be on the road for longer periods of time.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry my question incited CAPS response. Having bought a rig from direct seller in Cali and living in the Plains I have become used to going it alone on my maintenance with asking questions online.

Our LD is the only rig we've owned and we have solar so never looked into genny upgrades. In fact our genny has about 275 hours on it and 265 hours has been exercising the danged thing. Not much of a fan of gennys. I'm much more interested in the idea of running all electrical except A/C on the inverter. Will add solar to any rig we buy.

Bill, thanks for your blog, I have enjoyed reading it.

Our 2012 Winnebago has all features you listed so this has been around for awhile

I am always confused when people ask these simple type questions on a Forum. It is a SIMPLE request, WHY not just call Tiffin or your Tiffin dealer and ask the question? Now, one thing you need to understand is NOT ALL Tiffins have this feature. So, you need to make sure your specific model has the Auto Gen-Start feature. The Phaeton/AllegroBus/Zephyr do have this as standard. But the other models, it is not always added as an option. You may have to specify it. Doug

Our friends. have a Tiffin. The generator has auto start. Although Tiffin is a good brand I wouldn't buy a MH just because of that feature.You could add that feature to just about any generator. In fact I am going to add that feature to my generator.

An auto start system such as the Onan EC-30 can be installed to add similar features to any generator equipped coach.

very possible
I have a 2008 allegro bus and the 3000 watt inverter feeds most of the outlets and the generator will start when the batterys get below a set voltage;( u can set it to what your low voltage preference is )
