Good idea with the inverter! That would work for the emergency case of a low House battery. I did run a test for that some years ago with a 400w inverter (I still have) clamped to the engine batt in the truck (same truck) while idling and it ran the Vector charger (same charger as in the TC now) at 20 amps (which needs 320w, the running watts for that 400w inverter.) So I can just have that 400w inverter along as a back-up.
Still does not answer the issue of the very different batteries in parallel where supposedly nasty current eddies and all that get going and any other weird stuff that could be damaging.
The charging voltages, amps amount, and charging profiles are the same, so they are not an issue---it is just their being in parallel that could be.
