Hi
When running off a genny [HI]do you connect into van 240v through ehu lead[/HI] or 12v straight to battery bank?
Reason i ask is that i have read that some people have blown there on board charger so now go through a stand alone battery charger to by-pass van control unit.

I also have a surge protector at the point where the 230V cable enters the EBL for added security.

So did I, it died anyway. Result of a thunder storm on hook-up here.
save the money and buy a bigger battery bank and some solar panels and if this weather keeps up like it has for the last few weeks a wind turbine then you wont need hook up.
or a genny

I rarely use mains hookup. Got two batteries, got a 135W panel, got a genny for when the sun don't shine; NOT got a turbine, but I often get wind!

Thanks for replys to date
van is new to us so making improvments for a skiing hol
I have fitted 2x110 amp leisure batts with space for another if required,not sure if van alternator will take another at this stage although i could fit a split charge relay between 2nd and 3rd battery
Also in the process of fitting leds
Could be away for 2 weeks or more without ehu so genny is a must
Have not yet fitted solal panels as im still looking into their performance especially as it could be cloudy for the time we are away (hopefully not)
The genny is a 1998 honda ex1000 and van transformer is Schaudt 99
In previous van i have hooked up genny to ehu lead with no problems but have heard that with later vans there could be problems like spiking the ecb
Maybe me just over concerned but when temp below freezing i need power
