No, Newell will not install them. They said they have had issues with them starting while in customers storages and smoked the coach out (mine actually malfunctioned and did so, luckily I was working in my shop that day). I had a local rv dealer here install one on my coach (he knows prevost though, does Featherlite warranty work). It has been a hassle getting it hooked up properly.. I had to use the generic model because I had a prosine inverter and they did not make one for it. However my new inverter is a magnum and they make an auto gen start specifically for magnum inverters.
Mine auto gen start unit is a Magnum ME-AGS-S. They mounted it in my kitchen cabinet next to the microwave and wired it into the switch in the galley.
The problems I have experienced with mine, is that it was mounted to high in the cabinet, so It was getting heat from the roof and engaging the generator to start. I lowered it in my cabinet and seems to work now.
The main reason I got a auto gen start was for my dog inside. I didnt want to lose power like I have before and she be stuck in there with no air.
