My generator starts from the truck chassis batteries. I like it this way. I can boondock and use up my house batteries for a few days and when they get low I can start up the generator and charge them up. And, if I use up my house batteries I have no worry about being able to start up the generator. I know some use a volt meter to keep track of the house batteries and if they get low they can start the generator. But, wouldn't it be better to just use the truck batteries to start the generator? I don't know but I trust the company that built my truck to do it the best way, even though they seem to have succumbed to the terrible market and gone out of business.
