YIf you have solar you can get them to a higher SOC before dark. In that case, do your 50-80 in the morning and let the solar do what it can the rest of the day. You can run the solar while doing your gen/charger to get more amps--just leave the solar on all day--it will do whatever it can.
A properly sized solar system (and adequate sunlight) will recharge your batteries AND do the long, slow equalization charge as necessary.
What would be adequate size? Dor $50 I can get a 100 watt system from a buddy who no longer needs it. I'm guessing I would need more panels. Also, my toy hauler is not solar prepped. What woudl I need to do? Drill a hole through the door to wire directly to the batteries?
Again, at most I would only boondock 3-4 days a year so I am trying to stay pratical.
