I have a 30 amp charger/converter in my rig with one measly house battery and no inverter. Since boondocking will likely be 90+% of my use, I need to do something about that. I already have solar panels (150w Siemens), and an inverter (2.5 Kw Trace Engineering U2512 w/o charger option).

Would there be much advantage to upgrading to a higher rated charger/converter? I plan on installing up to 3 pairs of 6V batteries and I have an 4 Kw generator. I'm looking hard at the PD9280 (80 amp) but I've heard that the converter makes noise (the electrical type, RF in particular).

I would appreciate any opinions on various models. Thanks!
