Ditto.
This is how I do it.

I can't think of any reason to use the "12v output" from a generator. It's very low amperage, not regulated, and not very well filtered. It's put there as a marketing gimmick. Don't bother using it.

How do you all hook up the generator to charge camper batteries? Hook generator directly to batteries with the battery cables or just plug the shore power cord into the generator? Speaking to a Northern Lite camper and a Honda generator.
Thanks

An air cooled engine, such as the Honda engine used on the Honda generator, reaches operating temperature in 90 seconds.

Don't really want to have a cold generator start up with a load on it, and charging can be a big load.
