Dual battery set-up using chassis battery
Has anyone incorporated their truck's OEM 12v battery with their camper's battery(ies)?
I'm brainstorming a way to do this and would appreciate some input. I'm thinking that if I run large (1/0g) wire from my truck battery to the coach/camper, then I could connect them in parallel, thus turning my truck chassis into a generator.
I think I'd need some sort of D/C to D/C charge manager to put in between the two batteries to make sure the trucks battery doesn't become too depleted.
Any thoughts on whether I could run a large (2000w) true sine inverter using this set-up with the truck's motor running? It'd be nice to run the camper's A/C for short periods of time without buying a Honda 2000Eu.
Appreciate any input! Thanks!!
