What you need from the truck to camper battery:

That is it.

7a. Batteries (I personally recommended LiFePo4 because of the integrated battery monitoring system builtin)
Lithium Ion (any kind, but the Battle Born LiFePO4 are very good) have a different charging "profile". Make sure it is compatible with you DC-DC charge controller.

6c. Camper Power Convert / Charger
More and more people now a days are running inverter in their campers with moderate to large auxiliary battery banks. I recommend an inverter/charger/transfer switch and NO converter/charger, just a DC distribution panel wired directly to the battery bank. Much simpler.
