Our old HTT only had a single-stage converter and for dry camping / charging off a generator I needed something better. I bought an IOTA-55 w/IQ4 and used it as a stand-alone battery charger.
Fast forward to the new TT. I mounted the IOTA to the ceiling in the front pass-through after running a switched 110V line to it (tapped off a bedroom outlet.) This left me with a 3' cable run to the batteries. I also put the factory WFCO converter on its own breaker so I can turn it on or off.

Overkill? Maybe. It gets tested next week with 5 days of dry camping.
