ABSTRACT:
A device and method for continuously monitoring the availability of an external electric power supply into a recreational vehicle such as a motor home, a boat and the like and controlling the operation of an onboard engine powered generator to serve as an alternate source of electric power for the recreational vehicle. After a predetermined initial time delay following external power source failure, the device activates the cranking motor for a predetermined cranking time period to attempt to start the engine. After another predetermined waiting time period, the cranking motor will be reactivated for the cranking time period if the engine has failed to start and supply electric power to the recreational vehicle. As soon as external electric power is restored, the engine is automatically shut off by the device.
