Sorry for the misunderstanding on pulling wire to improve RV house battery charging from the alternator. Have read plenty of TC posts wanting to pull ~#2 wire for faster charging.
Typically I recommend 100 watts minimum for the effort. More than that and you need to balance battery capacity, usage and space on the roof.
Here is 120 watts in Norco to save shipping:solarblvd $136
Measures about 52" x 26"

Or is it built in & you simply hook it up to your battery?
& if so what about also hooking it up to the trucks two batteries?
Or would that require a more powerful solar panel?
