How to charge a battery
I will have access to a 1000w generator while I am camping fora few days. Would just plugging in my trailer to it be good enough to charge the battery for a few hours, or should I put a charger direct...

If you recharge when the batts are not very low, they will not draw as many amps, so the 1000w gen could do that, although it will take longer to get back up in the higher SOC range.
You can't get a true resting voltage but just use the voltage when nothing much is on and recharge at 12.4v instead of waiting for 12.2v.
Have access to gas for the gen as you might have long running times. Still beats using that 6a charger.
The goal will be to optimize the time that I can run the generator. I'll have a few cans of gas ready to go to let it run as long as I can.
