theoldwizard1,
Can you explain if we should be using the existing wiring in the camper and the truck or should we be running a new wire from the truck alternator to camper battery (and if so what gauge/size), as was noted in the post -> https://mortonsonthemove.com/wp-content/uploads/motm/motm/truck-camper-lithium-alternator-charging/lance-1172-proposed-battery-system-4_orig.png
And

As well as this option that includes the solar chargers:

Thanks again!
Ps- will any of this void the warranty?

So now we are looking at the DC-DC charger option so that when we get our LiFePO4 replacement batteries we will be able to keep them charged when it's overcast and we are driving, as that seems to be a missed opportunity for us currently without it.
A second alternator is really only useful when your vehicle has very heavy loads (additional lighting, electric powered hydraulic pumps, etc).
A DC to DC charger is the only way to fully recharge a RV house battery bank. And they do not need extra heavy duty wire !
