The EC30-W autostart we have for our Onan QD will start the generator if the batteries go be low a certain level for a certain length of time (certain = user programable).

The Autostart will also start the generator (in the absence of shore power) if the inside (assumed) temperature is a certain temperature (ac or heat, programable set points) - this means you must leave the thermostat ON & set, since the EC30W doesnt activate anything other than the generator.

IIRC i paid about 245 for the EC30-W.
I also consider the auto start from Magnum Energy which supports ANY generator and performs the same type functions as the EC30.

Heres some charts that will be helpful for your battery charge / saturation level:
