My main goal is to make sure I don’t burn up the alternator and get stranded. But also, on my last two campers the charge I got from my alternator was minimal. With a compressor fridge (NovaKool) on my last camper I would end a day driving 10% under the SOC where I started, even with 200 W solar. I would like to have a 30A charge or so go into the batteries while we’re rolling (even though I’m back to a 3-way fridge). It sounds like the system as described will be ok on both counts. I’m ordering the Victron 12-12/30 amp Smart DC-DC, and will hook up 8 ga 6-pin. Thanks for the clarity.
