Go up to 100% when solar charging and you know you are going to use the battery soon. Like JD said, once it's full it's time to use it.
Keep the battery around 50% if the bus sits around idle for weeks/month. That's what most manufactures recommend for 'storage'.
Charge to 85%- 90% with the generator as the final charge to 100% takes a much longer time than the first half of the charge and you are just wasting diesel.
You see where the conservative 75% for the calculation came from.
