This is good news. The nice thing about my Yamaha is that other than brief times of bogging down, it either puts out 120 volts (+ or - a couple) or 0 volts (i.e. it overloaded and needs to be restarted.)
What I might do is turn off the circuit breaker on the charger the first time I get the generator started, then once the compressor is on, turn it back on. Or use an external Schumacher that has some multi-stage capability without using the internal converter.
This is very good advice. The last thing I want to do is burn out either device... in the Texas spring and summer, it is the difference between a nice campout versus an uninhabitable TT.
