5. The Old Wizard 1's recommendation from the DC-DC battery charging past forum entry about using a
CTEK D250SA or D250S to charge a drained battery, sends more 12v power back to the camper batteries while driving or fast idling. This is my leading candidate for a solution at this time of my "education". If I am traveling with full batteries in the camper, would there be a way to disable that system or is it built to do that when the camper batteries are full? Will the smart charging system that the old wizard mentioned in new trucks interfere with a CTEK unit?
Thank you for all your help.
The CTEK system would be in the camper and would generally be installed in the existing charge line. This system would boost voltage so as to pull the extra power you need from the alternator and put the correct charging voltage on the camper battery. Multiple charging sources do not present an issue so no issues with the existing converter. Even the 20 amp max will do well charging the two batteries. You may still want some solar but that can come later.
