That's what I do on Uncle Mort and, I find, it helps if I switch the master control to over "generator" rather than leaving it on "invertor". Otherwise the engine driven alternator fights a losing battle with the immersion heater and discharges the batteries. All rather counter productive. If ever charging "in gear", to comply with the spirit of the BW regulations I always spend half the run period in reverse and half in forward gear just to keep things in balance. Beeky
