Grit Dog my manual on my truck says to turn on tow haul or the head lights to increase the output of the alternator. So in this case it does have something to do with it. I was surprised at this also. I have used a battery isolator many times with TC campers. I guess I didn't make what I was asking clear. Basically the two questions were with the two house batteries being separated by such a distance (the existing and the new aux battery would the charging work out ok?) The second question was about the wacky idea that too many cranking amps will cause melted wiring. The two many cranking amps didn't make sense to me but I wanted to be sure.
Not sure which way I will go yet, adding a battery right next to the existing house battery or putting one under the hood. Making some mods lately and have decisions to make.
This years mods include
solar
12 volt fridge
different truck
Its been busy time but fun time in the shop.
Thanks for opinions!
