Battery Question
If I have room to add another house battery can I just use the existing charging system. Do I have to match the capacity of the two existing house batteries.

Assuming you just need more AH in the bank than you have now, and that you have a pair of 12s at say 85AH each for 170AH, and that your third would make that up to 255AH, then consider going to a pair of 6s instead and use the two 12s as cores for that purchace.
Two 230AH 6s like the East Penn GC15s they sell at Can Tire for a good price gets you way more AH than you have now and is likely enough if 255 is good.

Plus a pair of 6s are much better house batts that can actually be deep cycled, unlike typical RV 12s.
A problem might be if the 6s are too tall for your battery compartment. Meaure twice!
