12.8 is a fully charged battery if it's not connected to a charger. To fully charge a 12 volt battery it needs to get to a bit over 14 volts. Most older chargers, likely including your '95 model if it's the original, tend to keep the battery at too high a voltage for too long and boil it.
If you do indeed boondock a lot and recharge with a gen. I would highly recommend a newer and better converter.
A proper converter should charge your battery to over 14 volts for a while then back off to a float charge around 13.2 to 13.6.
