This looks like a very good feature for the people with motorhomes. The idea came from the truck camper forum.

I would hesitate recommending this Dc to DC converter to folks whose vehicle uses the ECU to control the alternator field. That type of ECU regulation and monitoring may interpret a higher voltage as an error and reduce field strength to lessen the alternator charging rate. The error could send the ECU in limp home mode.
This point needs more investigation...
Good observation and issues could definitely occur with newer vehicles.- I would hesitate recommending this Dc to DC converter to folks whose vehicle uses the ECU to control the alternator field.

This point needs more investigation... - Sterling Power makes wonderful equipment
I too wonder why more folks have not looked into their offerings - Interesting device. Inserted between your alternator and your battery bank, this device acts as a multi-stage charger. Could be valuable for people that need to charge quickly when enroute.
