I finally got my Onan EC-30W to operate as it should. I had installed four new Trojan 125's prior to installation of the EC-30W. I then set the controller to start the generator when the house voltage dipped to 12.1 or the interior house temperature hit 76 degrees calling for air conditioning. The house temperature reached it's setting and the generator started. I immediately shut it off. I ran the inverter for a total of 18 hours with the full size residential refrigerator and two TV's running before the generator kicked on when the inverter reached 12 volts.

If I reset it for a lower volt minimum such as 11.8 or so, it should run a few additional hours.

The Trojan 125's are great batteries and provided much more storage capacity than I ever dreamed with this amount of load running. Complimented with the Onan EC-30W, I'm no longer concerned about dry camping with a residential refrigerator.
