Just to be clear the ME-AGS-N is not "stand alone" in that the N designates the Network version. It is designed to connect to a Magnum inverter and be programed/controlled by an ME-RC or ME-ARC. They do make a "stand alone" version called the ME-AGS-S.
I've installed several of them in off grid homes but never in an RV. They work quite well if you pay attention to the generator. The problem I have is many customers interpret "automatic" as meaning "hands off". I get these calls about how the generator didn't start like it was supposed too. You find out the gen starting battery was 8 years old and dead, they haven't checked the oil in the generator in 2 years and it was too low, etc. Probably in an RV where you're using the generator more you won't have that problem.
Yosemite Sam, it would work on a portable if it was electric start and had connections for a remote start kit. You would need from 2 to 5 control wires from the Magnum AGS to the portable generator. I've hooked up some Hondas but not anything else portable wise.

Installed a Magnum system in my coach about 5 years ago and been working fine since. We have an Onan Quiet Diesel and a Magnum inverter which was already prewired so it made the install easy. You can set the AGS to turn on at a specific low battery voltage, and/or with a certain inside temperature. Both have been helpful for me. We did the install for our winter stay in Quartzsite and it was perfect. The temperature function protected our pups with A/C control, and the voltage control kept our batteries charged throughout the day.
Wow, that's cool.
Does it work on all. portable generators.
