Yeah, bpounds, that pretty much sums up my concerns, and well put.
But I can disconnect the refrigerator battery from the trailer at the end of the travel day, put it on a stand-alone 120V charger, and let the built-in inverter charge the remaining battery overnight. It's a retrofitted 3-stage charger & maintainer.
My hope is that the truck charger will be able to maintain sufficient charge to prevent the little refrigerator from running the 'dedicated' battery into the ground, to prevent damaging the battery from excessive discharge and leaving refrigerated goods to spoil. And hopefully, not damaging the trailer battery with overcharging.
I appreciate your input. My plan has been adjusting as you've been responding.
