I run the generator for two hours in the middle of every month (per Onan recommendation) and then plug in to shore power for 12 hours to bring the batteries up to full charge at the end of every month. It is on a schedule kept on my calendar with reminders. In the winter - like now - with unbelievable cold I go out and start the van engine in between and let it run 20 - 30 minutes. In the cold the batteries run down much faster. I keep an eye on them and if I can I plug in more frequently.
Gerry - is there a solar package for the Zion and did you get it? The RT solar package should keep the batteries charged with just daylight (according to RT).
