Unless you have increased the wire size from the truck to the 5th wheel I doubt if you are actually doing ANY charging going down the road. Between the frig and current draw of the even unloaded inverter could eat up all the available current from the trucks alternator. Been there done that. I had to parallel additional 10 ga wire from the truck back to the 5th wheel battery bank. Before about 7-8 amps, after greater than 20 amps. A clamp on current probe would answer all the questions.
