Charging battery
When charging batteries which is faster? 1) Plugging camper into the generator OR 2) Connecting the generator directly to the battery?

I have more 3 battery banks. If I am pressed for time. I use the on board charger for 1 bank then my portable charger for another bank. I have battery switches. I can run any or all banks just by turning switches. Thas has worked for me. If you have more than 1 bank you could do the same, I feel this works the best with multible banks.
Ah Ha! Looks like a former boater. The wiring is more complex & it takes more than the understanding of 12V systems that many folks possess but this is a great way to go. Multiple battery banks that can be used & charged together or in any combination thereof.
Had as similar setup onboard my boat. 3 battery banks could be used for starting, house or any combo I wished simply by turning switches.
Charging rates vary, depending on battery type & capacity. A whole nuther 12V world to try to understand.
