Once the desired temperature is reached the A/C kicks off, the generator kicks off, the RV is cooled, the batteries are simultaneously charged and the cats are alive and happy. So when the temperature gets too high the AGS tells the generator to kick on, then the AGS turns on the roof A/C to cool down the RV. That’s all great, but the coolest feature is by far the auto A/C setting: While boondocking in the summer it can get hot, and if we’re not at the RV the cats could get really hot inside the rig. This is where the AGS kicks in: I set a low voltage number and when our batteries fall to that voltage the generator kicks on automatically, charges the batteries and then kicks off. Roy the RV came with an auto gen start and it was love at first sight! Since we have a power hog for a fridge our batteries and solar can’t keep up on a cloudy day. For more on inverters and solar systems, check out our Solar page. Keep in mind every RV is unique so measure and do your research before purchasing any solar/electrical systems. You’ll want a good pure sine wave inverter to power all your gadgets too, Roy the RV came with a Magnum 2000 watt psw inverter that works great. On our new setup with Roy we have 500 watts of flexible solar and 464ah of battery, (and our current set up is the ultimate 960Watts and 700AH Lithium Battery!) but because we have a residential fridge I’d recommend a minimum of 600 watts with a matching 600ah of AGM battery power.
With our first RV Solar setup (on Windy) we had the “ Extreme Kit” and 420ah of battery power which did just fine. There’s nothing worse than turning the engine key after a long week of wild camping… and hearing nothing! Dead batteries are no good! We use GoPower! solar because they’re a reputable company and they create complete kits for RV’s so there’s no guesswork when it comes time to purchase.

Whether you go all-in on a giant rooftop solar kit, or just dabble with a portable panel, solar helps keep you from running the generator.
