I am goingto run my genset for the coffee maker and the microwave anyway so it will bulk charge the batteries then. I have friends who have put up soar and do not need to run the genset much at all. It is there and simple so I run it when it needs to be run. This coach does not have the same soar setup I ad on my last coach but my next coach will be designed with it in mind and will not require any real genset run time other tan baking in the microwave or the washing machine.
I run my gen sometimes for coffee and microwave. Maybe 15 min max. Doesn't seem be enough enough time to bring batteries to full charge. I have using dometic reefers for 8 years with no problems and complete independence from the grid and no p o neighbors. I don't get it?
I'm not sure what you don't get. Are you referring to the length of time the gen runs. For us 30 minutes plus is just force of habit as I am a believer of letting a generator run for at least 30 minutes before shutting down. Is this what you are referring to?
