Trace inverters
I was working on a Monaco yesterday on his Aqua Hot, Coach is stored in a metal covered building and not plugged in. Batteries were almost dead so he only had a 15 amp wall plug there that he plugs in coach, so I plugged in expecting to blow his 15 amp breaker but Trace inverter charger started to charge. I toggled through inverter controller and it was set on 10 amps shore power, that’s why it did not blow breaker. Question is when inverter is set to 10 amps for shore power does that mean when gen starts it will still only charge 10amps on gen power or some how default to 30 or 50amps???

I cannot speak about others, but when I set my charging current it is fixed until I change it again. It does not matter if I am on shore or generator power.
I typically use a very low current setting in the heat of summer so I can run A/Cs and other electrical loads without tripping the shore power breakers. With low current charging settings it might take all night to fully charge the chassis batteries, but that is OK.

Art,
I think it will go to 2 legs of 50 amp when gen starts, since what you did was change the shore cord size.
