I am in the process of fixing up my old Lance and want to do quite a lot of boondocking. I need to put some solar on it ....and have a generator....The variety of opinions on the subject are REALLY confusing.
Maybe the variety of opinions mean that there are several configurations that will work well.
I have read that charging with a generator tends to NOT fully charge the batteries, and therefore reduces the battery life. Is there a battery charger with an output voltage that can be adjusted to make sure you get the batteries fully topped off....or is it better to get them mostly charged with the generator and then top them off with the solar?
I guess if traveling a little every day, it would be possible to also get a good charge from the vehicle if set up correctly.
