I am going to be faced with similar decisions here as well soon. I am really thinking of installing a second alternator setup much like the emergency vehicles have which is a proven setup for larger current demands for auxiliary battery setups...
Let the standard alternator take care of the truck start setup that it was designed for and the added second alternator setup to take care of the auxiliary battery setup...
This will help insure you will always have a way to get back home haha...
This idea seems to work well with the rescue squad type vehicles and lots of available such system parts kits for the new build...
I still want to stay with a designed setup operating stand-alone PSW type Inverter/UPS setups and have a good way to re-charge the battery banks when needed by idling the truck motor or running an external generator setup...
