why is this an issue at all? If you have a proper solar set up do you need power from the truck? I disconected that part of my wiring so I only have the solar set up powering the camper when I am not pluged into power.

Same here, BUT I have 4 panels installed to charge my 2 100ah Battle Borns. We've never run out of power, but there have been rainy days where the batteries only get back up to 90% charged.
I wasn't sure if it would be OK to have the 14.6v from the camper converter backfeeding into the truck batteries / electrical system, so I disconnected the 12v cable from the truck.
Exactly, with the exception if running a compressor refrigerator during inclement weather...
yess that would be a reason to have 12V available if your driving at night. I use propane for the fridge, but I didnt want to take the chance that something would suck the truck batteries down while I was camping.
