Is The etrailer 4,500 Watt Generator Compatible With An Auto-Start Device

Question:

Has anyone installed an AGS like a Magnum ME-AGS-S or Morningstar Relay Driver battery maintainer system on this generator, or have recommendations on a different AGS?

The etrailer 4,500-Watt Portable RV Generator # 333-0005 hasn't been tested with any sort of auto-start device since it requires that all loads are removed prior to starting the generator. Having to remove the loads before starting it defeats the purpose an auto-start.

Looking at the Magnum ME-AGS-S it states that it works with "Onan, Powertech, Generac, Westerbeke, Kohler, EPS, Northern Lights, and most portable generators with electric start." so I recommend checking into some of these brands to see which have an electric start and wouldn't require you to remove the load prior to start up.
