  • Publication number: 20060080013
    Abstract: A recreational vehicle includes a chassis having a living space, an electrical system for providing electrical power to the living space, an air conditioner for cooling the living space, a heater for heating the living space, and a plurality of appliances within the living space attached to the electrical system. The recreational vehicle also includes an engine for moving the recreational vehicle, a motor generator for supplying power to the recreational vehicle, a connector for connecting the electrical system of the recreational vehicle to an external power source, and a local area network system electrically connected to the air conditioner, the heater, the plurality of appliances, and the motor generator. The local area network manages the power provided to the to the electrical appliances. A display positioned within the living space shows data related to the air conditioner, the heater, the plurality of appliances, the motor generator and the engine.

  • Publication number: 20050052027
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems, devices, and methods of disabling an automatic generator starting (AGS) actuator, such as used with a fuel-powered AC power generator providing AC electrical power to a recreational vehicle (RV) or other vehicle. The AGS actuator is disabled in response to a fault condition, such as may be indicative of a risk of hazardous gas, such as carbon monoxide (CO) accumulating near the vehicle, potentially in an enclosed area. After such disabling is performed, the vehicle driver would then have to consciously re-engage the AGS actuator. Factors useful for determining whether the fault condition exist include, among other things, transmission position, wheel rotation, vehicle engine operation status, ignition status, and/or an exhaust gas sensor.
