Battery charger or generator?

Bare with me on this. I just spent 2wks boondocking with my two Crown 325ahr 6v GC batteries. Every 4th day I ran the eu3000 4hrs to recharge up from 12.3V. Would I be better off connecting a battery charger to the gene and hooking direct to the batteries?

    I have a charger/inverter in the 5th wheel. I plug into the generator and the batteries are charged through the charger. Like you I run the generator (honda 2000i) for about 4 hours. I've never paid attention to the charge levels so I can't tell you how much charge I achieve...but it is enough to see us through 2 weeks of boondocking without running out of battery power.
