In my world of OFF-ROAD CAMPING I would not want to do anything to interfere with the normal operation of my truck start system. It is designed for what you normally will use in your OEM setup... This is my only way to get back home on haha...
On the other hand almost all emergency vehicles do have dual battery banks for lights operation and they operate with no issues for generations.
Just for extra capacity, to boost camper battery I would be tempted to use plug charging wire, but on the other hand, those connectors do bring some maintenance problems, beside bad ground wire being pretty common issue. On my 2007 F350 the ground wire was having hefty size and had big bolt grounding it 4 feet away from the plug to the frame.
I tracked the bad ground to connection between the eye on the end of the cable and frame. That on truck who being CA all the years had no corrosion.
