Thanks Richard. The generator certainly adds excitement to the equation. I now try to remember to turn off the charger on my ProSine before I start the engine and generator since my ProSine will actually get an over-temperature error if I am running the charger while the generator and the engine are running. Doesn't happen otherwise.

Jennifer, yes, the battery minder would be better on the chassis batteries and put a multi-stage battery charger in place of your existing charger, since you don't want an inverter/charger.

With that setup, as long as you keep the Newell plugged into shore power, you should never have to move the merge switch from the OFF position.
