I'm sure there is one available that would start on 120Vac loss (or you could just use a 12V supply from the 120 to provide the 12V loss signal to a standard controller).

Seems to be a lot of information on this here:

Thank you for your info.
This sounds like what I am in need of.
I looked at the site you provided. I can not seem to find a cost for the different set up's. Hard to tell if it's $500.00 or $5,000.00.
The generator on the coach is an Onan RV QG 4000. Gas.
Guess more searching will take care of that.
I would like to be sure the system would start the generator if there is a loss of shore power then restore coach to normal shore power when it's returned. I have a system like this on the home and feel it would be nice for the motorhome as well. Espec for the pets.
