You might want to check out the new inverter/charger units on the market (Xantrex,Trace etc.) Most of them use a 3 step charging process that really saves your batteries versus the converters one step process. As an added benefit, you can watch your TV, use the microwave, etc., without firing up the generator. It's also nice to leave the ice maker on while traveling, as the engines alternator will keep the house batteries charged going down the road.
I owned a 79 for 8 years and my single most important suggestion would be to keep your 12v electrical connections clean, especially the ground wires. Also, read carefully Newell's Tech staff's last sentence, you can't trouble shoot a bad solenoid with a voltmeter (amps are where the power is; 13.75 volts mean nothing without the amperage flow to support it
