The problem I have here in Northern Neck Virginia is most camp grounds we go to all seem to have generator run time restrictions in place... Most are 8AM to 10AM and then again from 4:30PM to 7:30PM. Even the Natl Forest sites close by have these same restrictions in place. Occasionally we will find a Natl Forest site with generators allowed from 8Am to 8PM. No public location we go to here can we run our generator after 8PM at night.
With this in place we have to use smart mode charging units to be able to get our batteries re-charged back to their 90% charge state in the three hour time frame...
I have to start each day/night run off the power grid with at least a 90% charge state otherwise it will get dark on us around 10PM each night.
For me this is the only reason that we changed out our older single mode converter/charger for the smart mode fast charge units. I use the PD9260C converter/charger here and at 8AM each morning we have our trailer shore power cable hooked up to our 2KW Honda generator purring away.
Most public places we camp at here on the East side of the USA have these same generator run time restrictions in place.
