Thanks for the feedback folks.  Not sure if I have a direction yet.  I guess until we start using it we will not know.  I guess we will be Pole to Pole users, and running the Gen while traveling.

Hey Karl.  I'm in a similar predicament as you are.  Did you solve any of your battery problems yet??

I think from what i've read
1.  Get a trickle charger for the chassis batteries
2.  Keep it un merged
3.  I was going to get 3, either regular starting 8D's or AGM 8D's.  I'm also a pole to pole user.  For the twice a year or so I might stay at a rest stop I just need to make it from when I shut the generator off to go to sleep to when I wake up in the morning to make coffee...
