As for batteries, if you want 2, get an isolator....it will keep your van battery from going dead and will charge the coach battery while the van is running.
that's what i'm thinking, 2 batteries and an isolator (or just swap cables between batteries)
the thing it, i just read 'During the constant-current charge, the battery charges to 70 percent in 5–8 hours; the remaining 30 percent is filled with the slower topping charge that lasts another 7–10 hours.'

i don't want to run the engine for hours just to charge a battery so i can power my wifi hotspot, charge the laptops and maybe a small 12v fridge
