Hi,
Are you full time or just boondocking?
How many watts is the generator?
Add a forty amp battery charger.
Consider upgrading the converter.
It really should not take 7 hours to get a pair of group 24 batteries charged. Most folks settle for 90% of fully charged when a generator is being used. It takes far to many hours of run time to get from 90 to 100%.
For generator charging, a higher voltage is preferred as it will fill up the battery bank sooner. I'd look at 15.4 as a good charging voltage.

It takes about 5-7 hours to get my batteries from 12.1 (not connected ) 12.8 (soon as I connect) to 13.3, so I'd like to get a stand a lone battery charger to hookup from the genset to batteries.
