Onan energy command auto start 30

Debating on adding the Onan auto start 30 to my options list on a trailer I have ordered. Sounds like it can turn on the gen set for the A/C if the shore power goes off or if the preset temp is met. Anyone have experience with this setup? Thanks
  • Have one installed on my rig & love it! Usually keep it set to autostart. Voltage drops to 11.9 and the Quiet Diesel 7500 starts. Will shut down when a set voltage is reached/maintained for X number of minutes.

    Dropping 1k in solar on the roof so I will most likely not need the generator! WooHoo
  • You will have to have AC control boards that interface with Auto Genset functions. You will also have to run wiring from the AC control boards to the Command 30. Does the Factory have that capability on an ordered unit? Jayco options the Command 30 on both towables and entry level Class-A and Class C models, but they do NOT run the wiring for AC Start. The only Start signal is from a low battery start parameter. You need to go to the Cummins/Onan website and download the Install/Operations manual for the command 30. Doug
