DC-DC Charging ?
When you add a DC-DC charger from the truck as in several threads about that, does that put the house batts in parallel with the engine batt? (as with normal "alternator charging" via 7-pin) Or is...

I like the always live 7-pin on my Chev. When the camper is on, and parked for a long time, the shore power to the camper converter floating the camper batts also floats the truck batt.
With the 5er it was not an issue since the 7-pin is disconnected when you un-hitch and move the truck away.
Without that, I need another maintenance charger for the truck batt. I have to use a second charger for the Ford Class C to keep the engine batt up when parked a long time.
Since I don't want to mix batt types now, I have to use a separate charger for the truck batt anyway. With the Renogy installed there is no choice, so separate charger for the truck still needed.
