I praised that wrong I turned off the inverter powering the trailer when on solar but left the solar and charge controller on.
The generator engine was running fine the surging had to do with electrical load
The amp surging would occur both on and off eco mode.
The amp surging was like a 30 second cycle.
My converter has four charging cycles as the charging on 75% battery level begins the converter could show 25+/- amps as the batteries become more charged it drops to 15a to 8amps and by the time ths batteries are at 90% to 3 amps or less. Which make charging on the generator for only 3 amps a waste of gas.
My batteries get down to 75/80% overnight.
This morning batteries down to 78% generator work fine no surging.
One interesting note although my batteries were at 78% my voltage level was at 12.1 MyChart says they should have been at 12.37 12.40?
