How much battery charging from alternator?
Having spent a few years here I often read about the concept that while a typical trailer wiring connection from the vehicle to the camper will supply 12V, it is of low amperage and as such the camper...

Would the battery isolator separate your starter battery from the circuit once full and allow the alternator to continue to deliver higher amps to the hungry house battery bank?
