Thank you very much for the replies. I will have to think this one through. Hmmmm batteries and inverters and a charging system gas/diesel....diesel would be the best bet. Thanks !
I had an inverter/charger installed on my MH, Xantrex Prosine 2000, (2000 watts continous draw for as long as the batteries hold out,,,,, at that level, a bit over an hour, or 2 horus at 1,000 or 20 hours ato 100 or... Well you get the math) watts times hours = about 2300 for the batteries I have)
Included is a lovely CONFIGURABLE 3 step charger, Safety shut down settings and a lot lot more
When I'm done I'll be able to select either a converter/charger (max draw about 1000 watts) to charge the batteries while the Xantrex runs the necessary 110 stuff or the gen-set on the rig or "shore power"
(I note in QZ we are allowed only 1,000 watt loads... IE: said converter)
You can then use a portable generator (IE: Genrac 1000 or Briggs & Stratton 1000, both same unit) to run a charger or one of the Hondas. I am going to have to pack a scope I think and take a look at someone's honda. My Xantrex monitors, among other things, the power waveform and it don't like other inverters much
