#1: You don't want to be without converter. Upgrade it, so that it wouldn't boil batteries and would output 13-14V without battery.
#2: Converter already IS a multistage charger. They are 3-stage. Illiterate Amazon descriptions might talk about 4-stage though.
#3: Solar won't have any adverse effect on other charging sources, install it if you want to minimize generator time and charge battery fuller.
#4: You don't want to ditch the alternator. There are ways to isolate the charging of starter and coach battery, if you need to.
Thanks. #1 is key, #2 is part of #1 :), #3 is great to hear, and #4 is probably already solved as the there is already an alternator charging input to the battery with an isolator. So probably just a connect and go scenario.
