1000 watt Yamaha generator?
I had an Alpenlite fifth wheel and got a Yamaha 1000 watt inverter generator when I needed a new convertor, I put in a 45 amp convertor thinking that it would be handled nicely in the rare instance wh...

It will be borderline.
60amp at 12v is 780w but when you account for losses or variations in voltage as the system isn't 100% efficient at converting AC to DC, you need to feed it more than 780w.
The 1000w Honda is only rated at 900w continuous duty. That leaves you only 120w to cover losses. This also assumes you have isolated the AC circuit feeding the charger. Doesn't take much to eat up 120w.
If you dropped back to around a 50amp charger, I would say it's a safe bet that it will work.
Since you are on the edge, you may run into issues where one day it works and another it doesn't...if you are at higher altitude or it's very hot, the power output will vary a bit.
