IOTA graph vs PD graph
OK, I came across two graphs posted here. Both happened to be in Salvo posts but I think one originated with Bigfootford. ANYWAY... I'm sure each graph has been discussed and dissected on its own...

No, that's not what I came away with.
The graphs you see here is unlikely what you'll get in your RV.
If you're concerned about gen run time then purchase an amp meter with shunt and take some measurements. Discharge battery to 12.1V (about 50% SOC) and then measure voltage at battery, voltage at converter and charging current. It's simple to place all three meters together and make a video of the charge sequence.
From this data you can determine if your system is adequate or you need to take measures to improve on it.

1) If you have an Iota or PD,or likely a powermax boondocker no real reason to spend the money to switch unless you need significantly more amps
