It is my understanding that the amount of charge going to the truck camper battery is determined by how much the alternator needs to send to the truck battery. So if the truck battery is nearly full ...

If it makes you feel better, every Motor Home that was ever built has the full charged chassis battery charging in parallel w/ the 1/2 dead house batteries, and it works just fine. So forget the idea that the full charged battery is stopping the discharged batteries from charging, and instead look for the real problem,......like has been talked about above.
Also keep in mind that ALL RVs have a "propane" Fridge for a very good reason.
I ran a 12v compressor Fridge in a Cabin Cruiser boat for 12 yrs, so I know how bad they suck !
This /\ BAD choice for refrigerator... replace with one made to run on propane so you don't tear up your trucks alternator. As OP stated, his problem is he installed an electric compressor refrigerator. Solve for X, not Y.
Nope. I'll never go back to a gas fridge in a pop up. They can't vent out the top for obvious reasons. And when the temps get to 100 like now the gassers struggle to keep 50°. My beer is icy cold at 34°.
I did change out my battery. Had a new Trojan 31 AGM. Put in a new Trojan 31 wet cell which increased the amp hours by 30. One trip to town and the wet cell is all ready fully charged. I think something is wrong with the AGM.
Thanks everyone for your input. If this doesn't work well with the new battery I will put in a bigger charge line.
