Default Retrofit Automatic Generator Start

I am about to purchase a 2016 Pleasure Way Plateau XLMB. It lacks AGS and I am thinking about having it added. Has anyone done this mod? What brand of AGS is recommended? Cost? Thanks.

Is the EC-30W autostart still available?

Maybe not. There's the EC-30 on the Cummins site: https://www.cummins.com/generators/m...ergy-commandtm


From EC-20 EC-30 EC-30W Energy Command autostart panels Onan RV gas and LP fueled Generators

As of 12/15/2015 this wireless Energy Command part is now obsolete with no replacement. Cummins is in the process of preparing the release of a smartphone app that will replace these. No more new or replacement units are available.

Another option:


Some inverter/chargers have the automatic generator start feature. I have a Samlex EVO with that feature. Some Magnum inverters have it also. It would likely mean upgrading / replacing the separate inverter and converter in the PW RV.
