Generator Prep
Since the "generator prep" does not include battery cables or a chase for them. Would it be beneficial to have the generators own starting battery? Running battery cables to my current battery compart...

I have a easy way to get a 110V outlet in the generator compartment, which I could have a battery maintainer hooked up at all time while plugged into shore power. Keep in mind that we don't do a lot of boondocking maybe a night or two at the most so keeping the generators own battery charged should not be an issue. Even if I had to jump start the generator battery with the house batteries, that would be few a far between as well as a lot easier than pulling the basement apart and the underbelly to pull 2 battery cables.
One of the main reasons for having the generator is in case of a power failure,getting stuck in traffic for hours or bad weather. I guess I could always start it up to precool or for a lunch break.
