Solar or Generator??
We are going to have some short boon-docking trips (3-4 days). I do not know my actual energy needs right now, but the DW and I are conservative when it comes to water and power. I really just want ...

Your lovely little genny would not run my pd9140, which is about as small a 3 stage converter as can be found, unfortunately.
Well .... it took me about one minute to find this 30 amp 3-voltage converter/charger (it's Charge Wizard is an option) for RV use. I only clicked on Google's first link - there were dozens more. I didn't even try to find power factor corrected 30 amp multi-stage converter/chargers, which the EX650 could fully drive even easier:

By the way, you used to post (I think?) a lot about the automotive-type multi-stage chargers (Black & Decker ... or similar?) that you used to help take care of your large RV battery bank. Weren't some of those around 30 amps maximum?
By the way, sometimes I hook up an old Sears 2-10-50 amp charger in parallel with my stock RV converter to pump even more current into the RV batteries when using the little Honda for faster AGM battery charging. I use the Sears charger in it's 50 amp "Engine Starting" mode to increase it's voltage just enough to better match the Parallax converter's 13.8 volt output voltage so they current-share better.
