Batteries question

i was wondering if there would be issues of adding two six volt batteries independent of the factory twelve volt set up. I want to add the six volts and charge them using a generator , until I can get solar set up and run cable to the inverter only and plug in the shore power cord to the inverter. thoughts ?

TIA, Joe

    What you wish to do can be done. However, when drawing on the inverter, it would be better for it to draw on all possible batteries. Add a switch similar to this one from Napa

    Sorry, I mean to not have the six volt batteries hooked to or connected to the trailer in anyway other than through the inverter and power cord
