I know what you mean as I did the same thing early on. I bought a Progressive PD5650 14.4 which is still far better than 13.6 I put a boondocker 80 amp in my sons rig which I'm sure has hit 14.6 to 14.7 iirc.
Thanks for the link, I bookmarked it for later. 14.4 is ok when you are running the genny earlier in the day and putting in the heavy amps. As the sun rises you can go over to solar for the lower amp higher voltage charging. People often run on genny early to cook and do the heavy lifting with the converter. It not one size fits all so there are various ways to accomplish it. I use my 3000 Honda a good deal and I have 1000 watts of solar and six 6 volts. It can sometimes be difficult to charge that many batteries even with 1000 watts so a generator is a great part of an energy management system. It's sometimes tough to get enough solar amps yet big amps are what generators and converters shine at.
