Auto Start Generator Troubleshooting
Have you check out the aftermarket auto starts? or contanct the BB
genset folks, Powertec? I understand they are very helpful.

When changing 120 electrical in the motorhome keep in mind that the
neutral is not bonded to ground in the pannel.

everything works. If not the wiring needs to checked out. But the
other parts need to working and checked out before that can happen.
