When I picked it up new they did not had the heavy gauge generator (Onan 5500) power attached directly to the battery and did a bit of a hack job with bolt wrapped in electrical tape to connect it to another smaller cable that went somewhere else. When I inquired about this they said "Keystone recommended this so the generator would not randomly try and start itself"
WOW!! that's an interesting comment. Cant say I've ever seen a gen not wired directly to the battery(s). I would be re evaluating my dealings with them. I don't think you need to get a separate battery for the gen, it just needs to be hooked up properly.
