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...

Hi Artum,
My solar system often sends power to the engine.
My isolators are simple continuous duty solenoids.
Disconnecting the starter battery from the alternator may be possible--but may also lead directly to a destroyed alternator.
I can (and have) run the roof air from the inverter/house bank/alternator. Then I see 70 amps--but I also see the starter battery dropping in voltage. When it hits 12.7 I shut down the solenoids as I have manual control over them in the form of switches.
