Is this battery appropriate for the RV battery that is charged by the generator and then would power the lights, water pump, etc, at night?

You got me there Barry, I really couldn't say. I've used mine exclusively for my trolling motor and cant tell you how it would handle the load you need. They are a nice battery for my particular use.

Yes, but check the size in amp hours of the battery you are replacing to make sure the new one will be equal or better in amp hour capacity.

Is your battery a car battery? If so yes. I find that one days charge will charge sufficiently for me to run my lights, water pump, radios for a night.

The battery is charged while the generator is running. It can be kept charged with a battery maintainer like a Battery Tender.

You would not want to use a "car battery", you should use a deep cycle battery often used in RVs. If you are considering the 3000 watt unit, you would need more batteries to sustain the load for an extended period of time. I use 4 deep cycle 6 volt batteries in a series/parallel configuration in my RV for providing power without being plugged or running the generator. As mentioned in other comments you will need to keep the battery charged until you need it.

yes, i use my honda generator to charge the battery every other day at the cabin, works good

It is designed to deliver 12 volts at 45 amp peak to charge a deep cycle battery to run items in a rv I would suggest reading the spec sheet to make sure it fits your needs

No. I use one for a tractor battery over the winter, 2-3 months between starts. Go for it. Maybe the battery will still be some good when you're able to get the boat in the water. Better, much better to keep battery up than to let it discharge too low. That kills batteries' life span. Especially in the cold.

Sorry I couldn't help you, the battery was purchased for a friend and he used it for an outdoor lamp.My guess would be if the Voltage and Amps correspond to your unit and the size is right there should be no problem.

I only use mine when I'm out camping. I have no problem with it recharging a Standard RV battery.

yes on overnight charge by any standard electrical outlet in your house will be fine ,,,yes i think it will hold a charge to power a small light overnight i have run a 100 w bulb for a few hours with mine although i didnt time it and it still had power left over i am thinking like a small bulb like a nightlight it would run it overnight ...i do hope this answers your question to your satisfaction. ?

it will work yes because it only needs 288 watts and this can handle 500 watts , but i would use a marine deep cycle battery and I would by a battery recharger and recharge the battery during the day...how long will you be camping for?

I had my Son in Law to hook ours up, and as I understand it, it switches back and forth charging which ever battery has the lowest power. We are also using a straight deep cycle battery for house battery and a Rv starting/Deep Cycle on motor side. These things are the cats meow when you are on the water and drain your starting battery down. Lines Taut, GUY

that would depend on the number of batteries storing the power and how much power you use. For my 37 foot camper, I use 8 batteries and it lasts till bed time unless I use power tools. Runs lights, fridge and tv without issue.

Should be fine - these things wire up to Battery & Chassis, and take a Side light feed for night (dim) mode, they decide to come on when the engine is running by the battery (charge) voltage.

Yes, mine is hooked up that way. Additional info.: The generator does not keep the battery charged. Need to disconnect it while not in use or it will discharge due to the monitoring function staying awake.

Should work if you wire it properly see the following web page on how to wire two 6 volt batteries to equal a 12 volt battery. As the Panel is strictly for charging 12 volt Batteries. you have to make it think the two 6 volts are a 12 volt battery. http://www.solarrvpanels.com/index.php/wiring-rv-batteries-properly/

I don't know. I use it for a extra battery for my 5th wheel when I dry camp.
