probly doesnt want to run the genny all the time , just use it for top ups , i have a little 850 watt gennie and was thinking the same thing till i get some solar panels

its just a 12 volt output , what is wierd is when you hook that connection up to your battery you can hear the load on the motor and on mine it is something like 5 amps output max , but hook up a 10 amp 240 volt charger and it hardly phases it
you will probably find the cheaper gensets are outputting a modified square wave form, not true sin wave, and I suspect the electronics in the engel won't like it, possible run hot for example. This being if you try to run it off the 240v output. Not sure about running directly off the dc jack though. A quick call to an engel agent would clear this up.
or am i missing something?
