Charging 2 Interstate Batteries through 45 amp converter

Does anyone here have any experience charging their batteries with a Honda EX 1000 (non inverter) generator? I'd like to try it while dry camping for a week at the Sun & Fun fly in next month in Lake...

Plug the RV into your AC outlet on the generator. A 1000 watt generator is somewhat limited for charging to group 29 batteries with a 45 amp (or larger) 3-stage charger.

You should be fine during daytime charging if you put the refrigerator on "propane", furnace "off", and keep the wife and kids from running microwave, hair-driers, and television while the early charging is taking place. The 3-stage charger will use less current when it backs off "bulk-rate" charging.
