I have 5500 as well. The manual states it has a low oil sensor, but I have not verified to really know because I have never burned that much.
I change oil every year, and one year I changed twice; when I was foolishly led down a path of being worried about the weight of the oil at different heat temps of the year
It is the overfill that worries me a tad... I need to check again, but the way my 5500 is designed, it seems like it would be very difficult to put too much oil in it. It would overflow the fill tube that is at a angle. The whole oil change out is tad under a quart. There is no overfill sensor. But it is easy to drain, if you needed to remove some oil, no tools required.
To the OP,
75% of the time my genny starts; it is started by the AGS. Take the time to learn and use the AGS. In 3 1/2 years my genny has never failed to start. If it did; it sends a default code, I can read the code on my AGS display without having to go inside. I have priming capability, but I have never needed to. I concluded that was because of proximity of my gas tank to my generator. That is not the case for all coaches; so priming is required when needed and by design. I suggest trying the AGS because it may prime for you automatically as part of that start process. Plus in you case if it failed to start you should have a code as to why it says it did not start.
