Diamondsea,
You said the engine starts and then switches from regular idle to the fast idle. How does the automatic engine start module turn on fast idle?
I believe Advanced RV orders a fixed fast idle and not the adjustable fast idle. Do you have any information on whose automatic engine start module Advanced RV uses?
What determines when the engine is shut down? Would it run for more than two hours if you are gone for the day?
As you can see, I have more questions than answers on how using the engine as a battery charger works. The Roadtrek E-Trek says they have an additional generator or is it a second alternator to make charging of batteries easy and fast. But they won't provide any detail on how it works.
The Advanced RV is relying solely on the engine alternator at 220 amps. Do you know how the house battery bank is connected to the starting battery? They told me they are not using a device like the Sterling ProAlt C. But I have not found out what they are using or how they know how many amps are flowing since they do not use a battery monitor with a shunt to measure SOC.
