Matthias, appreciate that.
Here’s the issue with an onboard generator on AC1 in the coach type we have. The generator is started from the house batteries. If the house batteries are dead, I can’t wake the quattro because I cannot start the generator, so being able to plug into something, even a basic generator is better than a totally dead coach. Also, if shore power becomes available, and is stable, this is what I want to run the coach, not the generator. So while I appreciate what the documents say, as others have posted in other groups, it is not always a practical solution. And, the real problem is with the programming of the start/stop relay, not the AC1 or AC2.
Also, there are multiple posts on the exact issue, which is around how the system is detecting running / stopped via the relay and digital input.
