I was boondocking for 4 days and the solar panel did the best it could but the batteries were just a little more run down each day. A neighbor finally figured it out for me (I think!). He said with the 30A, I'm only getting one hot leg and the charger is probably on the other leg. Makes sense, but I haven't confirmed it. Anyway, be aware of this possibility when using the Honda 2000s, or any other 30A gen for that matter.
Doesn't sound right to me. My batteries charge on the 30A generator. It shouldn't matter from 50A to 30A.
