Our experience with the Trombetta is they get very hot. Since I rewired the B.I.R.D correctly the solar now feeds the cranking battery and yes during the early AM and late PM the Trombetta will chatter. It is also on my replacement list before we leave for AZ next month.
Haven't made the decision to add a switch to drop out the Trombetta or not; most likely will. Cranking battery only needs topping off about once a week for us if we sit still that long. The only loads I've found on the cranking battery thus far are the night shade motor, Trombetta and B.I.R.D, and DW's tablet over night.
Will switch the tablet over to the house batteries once I upgrade the USB charging bank to something higher then a 1/2 amp.

I'm lost
Another reason to have the Midnight solar disconnect the Trombetta is house battery equalizing. Don't need the chassis batteries equalized!
Thanks for your contribution.
