Time to clean up the power situation for winter ...
First the battery up front ... isolated from the truck battery in the upper right ...
... then the 12V deep cycles, which are connected in parallel under the switches ...

Nice set up!!
Always good to have more power! Just like horsepower, there is never enough.
Are you comfortable with having miss matched batteries and unbalanced cabling? Have you seen any vagaries in the output and charging using this setup?
The manual switches allow me to turn on/off each of the three systems separately (truck, 2x12v, 2x6v). This allows me to charge/discharge each system as needs arise. The 2x12v are not the same (one is a year older than the other), but they have performed perfectly. They were matched in all other respects.
