5 - 6 years ago did that with a generac 4.5kw rv generator
The voltage regulator died no replacement available
I bought a 24v 6 amp p power supply i wired the input 120v power through a doublepole relay
Connected the output the field winding
Used a 12v to 120v inverter start the ps
When generator powered up the relay switched the ps to use the generator 120v
The inverter was only used to provide starting excitation
It worked very well
