Generator auto start
Have a 2000 Mtn Air DP with the big gen set in the front. Is it possible to have an auto start feature installed?

It's interesting that PPL Motorhomes has it on sale, but lists it at unavailable at this time!?
Has anyone ever done business with this company? Reputable?

PPL is a major RV retailer and is very reputable IMO.
I have bought from them before with stellar results.

I agree. PPL is a top notch RV parts supplier. I've dealt with them many times and have been satisfied every time.
Best of luck!

Thanks, again. I sent the parts department an email, this morning. Parts replied that they were puzzled that on line it shows no inventory. Will order direct. Thanks for all of your replies!

I've bought several things over the years from PPL. Very happy with their service.

Guess the next challenge will be to hook that autostart up. :-)

You are correct. It does look fairly straight forward. There is an Onan video on YouTube tjat shows installation.
However, whenever I am convinced that it will be a piece of cake . . .

Sometimes the wireless doesn't work because of metal between the two units. There is an easy work around for this and is done on most Winnebagos. I believe yours could be easily installed on your dash switch.
