Hi Wes,
I think one of our problems as owners comes from the description, "brown-out." If brown-out means total loss of shore power, or shore power dropping below 100 volts A/C, then we have a "start generator condition" when our gen start dash switch is on, and the Low A/C - No A/C switch is set to Low A/C, and the house battery bank voltage drops to 11.25 volts D/C. Seminars have instructed that we set the Low A/C - No A/C switch to No A/C when pets are to stay in the coach unattended, with the shore power connected and the Air conditioner(s) running, to permit the generator to start immediately upon shore power failure without also having to meet the criteria of low house battery voltage. Perhaps you can amplify or correct that information, as it appears contradicted by information on the website. Keep in mind, it is difficult to understand why an owner would want to permit any kind of shore power "Brown-out" condition as it would surely play havoc with our electronics. Last, I'm also not at all sure our GenCon setups poll the cranking/engine battery, and although the Westhaver website makes reference to polling the generator battery, I have haven't heard of a Bluebird making use of that feature. Thanks so much for your help.
