You don't have to run the gennie all the time. Unless you are running at night or with the dash fans on.
Merge the batteries. Run the gennie when the voltage gets to about 12.5 or so. Turn off when it gets to 13.5.
Don't leave the batts merged when you park.
Have you run the diagnostics on the alternator? http://www.penntexusa.com/4stptestinfo.pdf
If not you could spend a lot of time replacing a regulator that isn't the problem.
Quoting you "I ran the tests and sent them off ot Penntex for analysis this morning. Will update here when we get the results. " What were the results?
