Separately, I'm about to setup 200W of solar on top of the camper with a 30A controller and a separate battery bank (see earlier thread today regarding my Lance for install spaces). I'm hoping to use a battery isolator to tie these two together better than the camper's 7-way plug that currently connects it to the truck with a single marine battery and just drains the snot out of my truck batteries. Solving problems by complicating them!
Is the camper on the truck full time? If so you can forget about that 5 watt nonsense and let the 200w feed all batteries. I use Trik-L-Start to jump over the truck isolation relay. Truck and trailer sit for months at times and the batteries are always tip top 100% charged. The long 7-pin connection works just fine in storage.
