...........As far as my special use case, I intend to use this 2 or 3 times a year while camping and my solar can't keep up (due to deep shade). It works better than my cheap jumper cables alone. And I don't want to get a generator. And I'm really enjoying this whole battery charging game.

Ed, very creative. I actually do the same thing with my hybrid Escape. I can charge my trailer battery off the traction battery in the Escape without running the engine.
Your setup using eBay parts is the first that I've seen that has actually worked. My initial interest was to make something that other people could mount permanently and save rewiring the tow vehicle(and not cost $200), as this is a frequently reported problem.
