12V or 6V Batteries - Which charge Better?
I plan to switch to two 6V batteries in series, but before I do, I need to ask this question. When the batteries are drained and in need of charging, which will charge back up to full FASTER? Two ...

Your comment of charging with your generator is only valid if you connect your trailer shore power cable to the generator 120VAC receptacle using a proper ADAPTER which will allow your on-borad smart mode conevrter/charger unit to re-charge your batteries.
If you are refering to the BATT output connector on some generaters you will find they only produce some unregulated DC OUTPUT voltage around 12VDC with the capacity of maybe 6-9AMPS. This connector will take a very long time to charge a deep cycle battery. You need to start with 14.4VDC with the DC CURRENT Capacity of 17-20AMPS of DC CURRENT for each of your connected batteries. This is only developed from the trailer on-board smart mode converter/charger unit or an external portable smart mode charger unit you may have plugged into the generator.
