I should have added that my Trace (and it is not unique to my Trace), while it has a source of AC power also charges the batteries at the same time as it powers 120 vac appliances. It's power is "piggy backed" on top of the genset (or shore power) electricity so it can actually help power things in addition to the juice available from the genset/shore power.
