Faribault, MN - HH

Tuesday - Another travel day to a Harvest Host in southern MN. During our lunch stop, I tried my generator “experiment”. I turned down the max current into the Victron to 10amps, started the generator, then turned on the A/C. Everything worked fine. 

I turned up the input current to 15amps and all continued to run. Between the generator, the solar, and DC-DC charger, the battery stayed at 100% for the rest of the drive. 

At the HH location, we continued to run the generator and the A/C. At 5pm, it's still in the 80s and the battery SoC is 99% without the RV engine running. Just the generator and the solar. Later on, I'll slowly ncrease the demand on the generator until it starts to fail. Right now at 5pm, it's up to 18 amps. Enough to run the A/C and charge the battery at about 15 amps.
