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...

I really try and quintuple check my relayed facts and figures. The baby Megawatt is a winner.
The case is aluminum.
With a SHARP pair of diagonal cutting pliers, chop the sheet metal bridges around the edge of the fan hole. Leaves a wide open hole with sorta ugly chopped off tabs that the dikes bit through.
Buy an 80 mm wire fan guard and a tube of GOOP online.
Dollop the four screw hole loops in the wire fan guard the then flop the fan guard on the hole (it hides the ugly chopped segments)
Then proceed with the GOOP to glue the AC power in terminals, and the positive and negative battery cable screws on the terminal block.
The hogged out fan opening allows for a simply tremendous increase in airflow. And the modification takes what...five minutes from start to finish?
Don't forget to GOOP four rubber erasers (the big guys) to the bottom of the case. Most of the air inlet is blocked if you flop the bare Megawatt on it's belly.
Now for the fun part.
Crank er up set at 14.8 volts.
See how long it takes to charge a battery in comparison to an Art Deco undercharger. Try it with a tiny generator. How many buttons do you NOT have to press? Plugger-in and wait till the batteries start bubbling. Kill the generator.
Life does not have to be difficult and wasting money on fuel, patience and batteries is not supposed be be part of the program.
Ooooooo lookie.
Reset the Megawatt pot to 13.6 volts. Connect it at home and guess what...it will support a 30-amp FLOAT charge. Enter and leave the rig. Turn lights on. The batteries never cycle. They remain floating. A psychotic converter does not go through stupid cycling programs. How idiot programmers managed to make this stuff difficult is beyond me.
