Will Honda 2000 supply MSH 3012's charger?
Hello. Looking to power my fifth wheel travel trailer for off grid boondocking using combo seeking a maximum reliance on solar and a minimum on generator. My goal is to carry, due to size and weight, ...

Thanks. I forgot to mention, the MSH 3012 has a "shore power" setting, which I set to 15amps max when using the Honda 2000. I'm studying this, but I gather this setting should match the Honda 2000's circuit breaker rating. Also, my bank is 800AH AGM; 4 (6) volt Fullriver DC-400-6s.
I gather the max charge rate at 80% is .8*125 or 100 max. With shore power on max 15, the Honda's breaker doesn't trip, and the Magnum display inside says 90-100 dc amps when the batterires are in bulk.
It would appear these setting prevent damage (I suppose). It just seems to take forever, especially the last 5% of battery capacity while in absorption.
I guess I'm tryign to understand whether an Onan 3.6k would be any faster. If the onan ran at 125 dc amps, I guess that's 25% faster in bulk perhaps, but would either generator be faster during that last 5% absorption phase, when the batteries seem to accept only what they need, regardless of the DC amps being thrown at them.
$3,500 for an onan, when I already own a Honda 2000, seems like a lot. It's hard for me to quantify the marginal charging time.
