What voltages? Where are you measuring current; on the input or output? If you are charging to 14.7 volts at 40 amps but only receiving alternator power then it would take 14.7 x 40 / 13.8 = 42.6 amps input not accounting for the converter efficiency.
Check voltage at the vehicle battery and at the house battery (before the trip).
