buskin,
Well Sir, there's a few schools of thought on this. While most would advise you to install the Amp-L-Start, and, it's not a bad choice, I would prefer and did, install a stand-alone, three stage NAPA charger, specifically for the chassis batteries. I can never remember what the model number was/is but, it does all three stages, if and when needed but, mostly it stays on the trickle stage.
But, the Trik-L-Start and, the Amp-L-Start are good units and serve the purpose of keeping the chassis batteries up. I just wanted an "independent" charging source for mine. It's a preference thing. I just like the fact that the two systems are not tied to each other or, depend on each other, like those two do. No biggie. The Trik-L-Start and the Amp-L-Start are both real easy to install. Good luck.
