Hi folks,
I have a pretty dumb question, but I could not find it in any of the searches. Is it acceptable to run your genny while under way? I have twin Cat 3208s with small alternators, so the alternators will top off the start batteries, but probably not the house bank for shorter trips.
If I run the genny while moving from one spot to another I will arrive with everything topped up I would expect. I'm just wondering if there are any downsides to running while under way.
I'm still working on a solar set up, but have yet to pull the trigger.
Thanks in advance, and please be kind .
Cheers, Bill
