Thanks everybody!
sorry i couldn't reply sooner, was having trouble posting in forum from my phone.
I'm in transit for 40 min a day (20 min each way), not very long. I would like to figure out how to charge the extra battery while parked at my house (16 hours). i only operate (generate) for 4 hours in the morning. I'm looking to be able to run the fridge/freezer for five hours while parked at my other job, maybe 2 days out of the week. (the fridge/freezer would not be opening at all during that time). The generator is a 2000 watt generator (mostly to run hot water kettle) not sure any of the info for the inverter as it was installed by the previous owner. I just know that if it is off then nothing electrical in the bus works when the bus is plugged in!
So to recap, would like to charge extra battery while plugged in at my house, and probably need a switch to be able to run off of that battery while i'm at my 2nd job. Thank you again!!!
