Wapo,
12.1 to 12.2 volts under load should be close to 50% and easily trigger the need for the converter boost mode.
When you plug in you should see voltage steadily climb above 13.8 volts if WFCO is in the boost mode. With more time you should see 14.xx volts as the battery tops up on charge.
Voltage at the converter will be higher than the battery when charging near the rated amps.
I recommend this test for every RV if you expect a reasonable fast recharge on limited generator time.
