I carry a Harbor Freight (yep, it is a cheapie), battery charger. If the chassis battery ever goes flat I'll light off the generator and plug in the charger . It has a 35 amp "Start" mode that will crank a dead battery after just a few minutes of run time. Never needed it but have loaned it out a couple of times to fellow campers who woke up to a dead chassis battery. {Also, a decent quality set of jumper cables should be in every vehicle.... but I digress}.
Someday I'll replace it with one of those combo units that jumpstart, charge and have a compressor built in. These are a little pricey, large and heavy so for now I'll just stay with the charger as I already have a 100 PSI compressor (also from HF, $39.)
