I also learned the step doesn't work unless the generator or engine is running when the chassis battery quits.

For some reason, Motorcraft is my favorite OEM battery, when it is on sale or paid for otherwise, but for cars you just can't go wrong with the Wal Mart batteries, especially since they will put them in.
We just completed a 6 day trip and not once did I pull the shorepower card out. I only have a 1000 watt inverter and until last week, I had never tripped the breaker on the inverter. Still not sure how or why it tripped? But it was related to me manually turning off my generator at the time. I had 2 TVs on, the 12vdc power to the Norcold fridge, and maybe a few lights. I usually never see the inverter over 420 watts based on running all of the TVs.
