All of this assumes I am in AUTO mode.

Be careful about automatically starting a generator in an RV park. Even though the parks power is out, some parks don't allow generators to be run. I have been in several, but in one park with that rule when the power was out for a half hour and it the park was informed by the power company that it could be 4 to 5 hours to restore, they came around and told each site that they could run their generators. If a park doesn't allow generators, you will be kicked out.

That all being said, go ahead and kick me out for keeping my pets and grandma alive! When checking in, get prior permission for the auto gen start when power is lost. If they refuse, don't go back there.
