Busted with a bad battery out in the boonies

On a side note, I have considered setting up a way to charge the truck batteries from the solar on the TC. I have an isolator on the TC to prevent it from drawing down the tuck batteries, but I could set up a bypass (switch, jumper, whatever) to feed power back to the tuck. My only concern was the different kind of batteries in the truck vs the camper and not getting either to charge properly.
This is my plan if I ever find myself in that situation. Well, one of my plans at least. I have a solenoid/isolator in the truck that I'll bypass and let the camper solar try to push a charge into the truck battery. Being a diesel I have two so if one goes really bad, as in shorted cells, I can attempt to limp out on a single battery after determining which battery is bad and getting a charge into the other.
