Default Using Generator While Driving Over Charge Batteries

Is there a problem with running the generator while driving down the road? I wasn't sure if this causes a problem with the batteries getting over charged or something.

If everything is working as designed this should not be a problem. Some of the older battery charges were later renamed battery boilers by the owners, if you have one of those I would suggest replacing it with a 'smart' charger.

I run mine all the time and it won't hurt anything, that is what it is there for.

Happy Travels!

Yep, it keeps the entire coach cool and exercises the generator.

Certainly, run it you don't want to be uncomfortable when driving.
