Take jumper cables and use the truck to give the batteries a boost if needed.

Horribly inefficient and hardly worth the effort. :( The only way to beat this is to install a DC > DC charger such as a CTEK 250S which is specifically designed to solve this issue. :B

Actually very 'efficient' charging method

Efficient does not mean cheap
Although sometimes the cheap way , can be efficient
No worries, it's clearly evident to everyone that this is just another one of 2112's feeble attempts to pick apart something I've posted. :R The fact is that using a DC > DC charger, regardless of cost, is the most efficient way to recharge a deep cycle battery using the TV as the charging source. Aside from the CTEK 250S I mentioned earlier there are a host of DC > DC chargers also offered by Redarc that are equally capable of fully recharging a deep cycle battery.
