In the reviews of the Jump Starter there were some who stated that there were unable to get their motors to crank with jumpers, however the Jump starter had no problem even starting diesels on heavy equipment.

First though I have decided to test and see if the generator will provide immediate power to a low 12v system. I will run the batts down to about 11v and then test it out and see if I have to immediate power or I need to wait to charge.
Just as a point in fact the inverter on our 5r will allow the battery voltage to drop to 10.5vdc b4 shutting down while running the reefer.
