Gen auto-start question

Yahoo Message Number: 86496
We had all three A/C's running the other day while connected to 50A land power. We were sitting in the coach and our RV park had a power outage. At that instant, the gen started and soon the A/C's were back running. As we sat there and the house temp finally reached the thermostat setting, the A/C's shut down. As the last one quit, the gen shut-off. When the house temp started to rise again, all of a sudden the gen re-started and the A/C's came on.
Now, I know, in the past, I have manually started the gen and then turned on the A/C's. When the house temp stabilized, the A/C's shut off, but the gen kept running until I shut it off.
Is this "new function" somehow tied to the auto-start, low-house-battery function? Or did I discover a hidden feature I didn't know we had?........Or is this a hidden glitch? (The house batteries are at 14.0 V)

Wow! This sounds fabulous! We're sure looking forward to hearing what this function is and perhaps we can get it for our 06 Inspire. Thanks.

It's funny you asked this question now....I just talk to Dale at Silverleaf just now and he was telling me about all the cool functions of the Total Coach Systems and that is one of them. With the VMS 240 (I'm not sure about the previous models) you can set your Silverleaf to start on an exercise schedule, a battery charge mode and/or a temperature mode. Pretty cool!

Thanks for replying, Tammy. I would not have guessed this to be Silverleaf. Now I'll see if I can find this in the 240 menus.
