battery charging
When charging (2) 12volt rv batteries through the on board converter/charger, would two honda eu2000's work any better than just using one genny to charge?

Not too misleading. Eu2000 is still 13A*120V output. 1600W(VA). So, unless they have 90A converter...
This says the 9280 wants 1300w input. We know it has a PF of 0.7, so the VA required = 1857 (it also wants a 20a circuit)
The Honda 2000 is rated at 1600VA continuous. Some folks say they can run their 9280s with a Honda 2000. I don't know how, but I know my Honda 3000 can do a bit better than rated.

I have a couple of the early champion inverters that barely handle 1600 VA in perfect conditions. Despite being underpowered on paper, I've always been able to run my 9280 with the gen, mostly because heartland doesn't know what they're doing. undersized wit run probably 20 feet between batts and converter and I only have approx a 210 ah battery bank. Batteries rarely accept more than mid 40's amp wise. One of many things I need to fix now that I can keep trailer at house.
