I've used the emergency start switch to start the genny when the coach batteries were run down... I'd expect it would work if the coach batteries weren't present - but be sure the vacant positive lead is secured away from any metal parts....

Good to know. I'd already taped up the positive leads before I discovered that I couldn't start the generator as I expected to get voltage from the converter. I have three positive cables coming to the battery. I haven't tracked them down but suspect that one is from the converter, a second is from/to the emergency switch and I'm not sure what the third is - possibly main 12V feed to the store/use relay. I've got a 4-post terminal/bus on order and am going to mount it on the battery compartment wall so that I only have one cable under the positive battery terminal.
