Hi Forest
I just installed the Magnum ME-AGS-S Auto gen start in my Newell with the Freedom 458 invertor. The magnum is stand alone. I mounted the control box in the compartment above the driver seat because it was easy to access the wires needed. I only had to run one wire down to pick up the generator hour meter signal. (The hour meter is in the dash) Additionally there is a data cable that needs to be hooked to the control switch where ever you mount that. Since the thermistor is in the control switch housing I mounted it in the same cubby hole as one of the HVAC controls. The control switch should be mounted where it can get an accurate reading of interior temp if you want it to run the generator for climate control.
