Thanks for the replies so far...

I posted this prompted by the thread that is talking about the Victron combiner...anyone venture a guess, or have experience, that it does the same thing with the same other components? I am leaning toward trying a Victron on the 75 across the two battery connections on the isolator.

Also, would any of you EE types know of a trick to reduce or stabilize the voltage on the 78? A diode here, a smaller or bigger wire there, type of thing?

My need for engine charge is in part due to the "collective system health is not as new" reality...! For example, on the 75 I have one air pump that runs off ignition key, and one that is on house battery. If the system didn't leak down in two days, I wouldn't have to refill the 1.5 gallon air tank each time I get going. Works best to let both air pumps run for a few minutes on shore power and then crank the 455, otherwise it ends up being idling the motor for juice.

Another example is work days...still tracking down stuff like dash lights that don't work and other issues and it's great to count on the charger to do both systems as I work when plugged into shore.

And, I typically get used batteries for the coaches...overall very good dollars to donuts ratio, but not perfect. (I found one of those big $270 yellow AGM battery for $75 last fall - that thing works GREAT!) Given three kids in college, it means used batteries and leaky air systems for a bit longer - ha! But I am functional and camp 2-5 weeks a year, so gettin' it done.
