Disconnecting the house bank will pose no problems for me. When charging via genset, I just run pretty much everything off the genset, anyway, along with the charger. The few things that are run directly off 12v, can certainly be powered down for 15-20 minutes without any worries.
(EDIT: ok, coffee finally kicked in :)... there will be no down time if I simply disconnect the bank from the charger. 12v power will still be available.)
And with summer on its way, Solar will likely be all that is needed. It won't be 'til the cold weather returns that the gennie will be used to any extent. Thus the generator warm up time will also serve as the 15 minute down time. A simple solution to simple but annoying problem.
