With no solar, let the batts run down until your "morning voltage" is 12.2ish. Then do a 50-90 on gen and get as high in SOC as you can after that on solar till dark.

Note--
A.you will not be recharging to 100% on generator, just to 90% unless you are crazy :)
B. You can rig any deck mount converter as a portable charger simply by using a set of cut-off jumper cables (4 AWG though--not those skinny wire ones) in the terminals with the clamps to go on the battery bank (that's what I do with my 75ADJ )
