I see OP is asking about recharging TT battery when running inverter.
The main issue with standard set up is the 30 amp charging circuit, when refrigerators take about 400 amp or +- 40 amp @12v.
Most of trucks today have 120 or more amps alternator, so it is not supply problem, but transfer problem.
Lance makes its own plugs with #8 charging wire in it.
When I don't like the idea about messing with plugs on both sides, I have it on my winter list to run #6 wires with forklift plug to my camper, so I can run it on electricity, while having propane turned off at cylinder.
It is simple safety measure.
