I want to determine the right way to connect my Honda EU2000i to my Bighorn rv in case of a power failure.
I have a residential fridge and two 12 volt batteries in parallel in my rig.
At home, I keep most things turned off in the rv and keep the rv working and plugged in by using a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter and then a 30 amp to 110V house power adapter. This keeps the batteries charged and the lights will work.
I think I could do something similar when camping if no external power is available using my generator. I am aware this would not provide enough power for my air conditioners to run.
My Generator has a dc output capability also. Would it be better to just connect the dc output to the batteries and charge them directly???
Or would this need a charge controller???
Any suggestions on how to hook up a Honda EU2000i would be appreciated.
