We have had our new to us 2004 Escaper 4076 for a little over a week. I have been going over it and looking at the various systems. It has an Onan generator and possibly a Xantrex inverter system. The EMS monitor in the hallway has Xantrex on it. I am trying to find the actual inverter. There are also two fuse panels in the hallway. Are these panels attached to the inverter? I am planning to put a Genset Auto Start in the coach. I originally intended to install the Onan EC-30, but from what I have read it takes a lot of wiring. Onan has a new wireless product. The EC-30W which performs the same functions. The only problem seems to be that the RF is not totally reliable. We need to have a reliable system that will start the Genset and turn on the A/C so our four legged friends stay safe. There are other autostart systems on the market that connect to the EMS but without knowing what EMS I have I can't do the research.

Some builders attach them to the roof of the basement compartment. It will likely be close to the breaker boxes you spoke of.

The inverter/charger is located behind a false wall in the first cargo bay in front of the passenger side rear tires. It turned out to be a Xantrex Freedom 458. There is no way to interface a genset auto-start with this unit.It looks like I will be taking another look at the Onan systems.
