All,
I have been looking at installing an AGS in my 2010 Cyclone and wanted some feedback from the community on their experiences with these.
Since my Gen is an Onan the first one on the list is the Onan EC-30 or the EC-30W. Both seem tried and true - with the only complaint I've seen from the wireless lossing connection with the base unit ( rendering it useless ) so I'm leaning toward the wired model.
I have also seen some reviews for Xantrex that seem to have some high ratings, but the install may be more difficult since it is not plug and play like the onan.
Basically here is what I'd like to accomplish.
Auto start the generator under the following conditions:
1) when the batteries get low when not connected to shore power
2) when shore power is lost ( unconditional )
3) when in AC mode - and call for cool ( conditional )
4) at a schedule time ( to make sure that the Gen gets run every 30 days )
Other features I would like to see/have
1) quite time awareness
2) re-charge in advance of quite time period
Is there anything else I should be looking for?
Does anyone have any one of these installed I'd love to hear what you think.
Does anyone have a different mfg unit installed - I'd love to know what it is and how well it works for you.
Thanks in advance!
