Small Class B and generator.
I have a 17ft class B with no generator. I am looking at a Champion 1500-1200 generator for charging the 2 house batteries. The only things running on house batteries are the lights and a 12v-120 volt...

Looks like it is not an inverter generator so its 120v output might act more like modified sign wave? Those kind act different under load, so can't say what it can do.
Xantrex used to warn about trying to run their TrueCharge chargers on some generators (Onans ISTR) that were not inverter gens. However, my PowerMax converters do run ok on MSW, so who knows? Mr Wiz ran his WFCO converter on the Champ 1500-1200.
Hard to believe a generator shop would not know what VA is!!! :(
It says it has a 20a receptacle but in the photo in that link it shows that it is a 15/20, which is good. Be a PITA with a 20-only.
It will be VERY loud. 65db at 23 ft. :(
