Is this a high output 150amp alternator or the stock alternator?

Also, were is the inverter? You mention in the "cabin" but does that mean in the vehicle or in the trailer cabin?
Vehicle cabin.

Be prepared with a jump pack if you try this (or at a site with shorepower) as you could find your starter battery dead as the inverter drags it down.
Good to know. I was told above to watch that voltage stays above 12.7.

Once you get past the inverter of appropriate size, no issues charging...at that point it's no different than being plugged into shore power.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Was criticized above for "reinventing the wheel" when I thought, surely someone somewhere has done this already and I just missed it in my search.
