I've used the emergency start to start the genny. I had to do this for one simple reason (I'll give you a clue in a single word: "Harris").

I've wondered: Which is better: Start the genny and let it charge stuff up, or start the V-10 and let it charge stuff up. Sure the genny does take a little more cranking than the V-10 but its starter is smaller and thus shouldn't require the current the V-10 does.

Ultimately I think the decision comes down to: Which battery is "more dead"--start the other engine (e.g. if house battery has less charge than coach then start the V-10).
