Wanted to report in on the results of the merge solenoid mod. So far it seems to be working. I was boon-docking for a week at our property in Tennesee and everything worked as it should. Actually the engine batteries were fine up there as long as I remembered to turn off the battery merge. I left the merge off most of the week as the engine batteries seem to stabilize and they stayed at a constant voltage the whole week without being charged. I charged the chassis batteries the day before we left while I was running the generator in the evening. The house batteries actually did surprisingly well. They are 1 year old Napa commercial batteries that the seller put in before I purchased it. We did not have to run much while not having power, the fridge of course was running all the time, and we ran the ceiling fan at night. I put in a new ceiling fan and it’s not bothered by the modified sine inverter. 

Here is the fan and some photos from an overlook about 10 minutes from our property called the Bee Rock Overlook:
