I would argue putting big alternators on the giant propulsion engine is effectively equivalent to a horribly inefficient generator. You can do that with just about any pickup out there but if you are going to do it with any regularity, it makes far more sense to get a dedicated generator and be done with it.
Agree -- if only running the truck engine to charge batteries.
If charging is only done while driving might still be inefficient, but it's a relatively small amount of energy compared to moving the truck / camper.
