could you not have just plugged the camper in and keep the batteries up that way? am I missing something you had to use a separate 6amp charger?

I had a 45 amp boondocker from the guy in Idaho that burned out, I'm guessing because it couldn't handle the current demand of 400 AH of LIFEPO batteries.
I'm looking to replace it with a Victron 3000 watt pure sine inverter charger. The delay is, our engine self destructed, and we never made it to Quartzsite to buy one. Mail ordernow I suppose.

ahh, it probably just died, it wouldn't be because of the LiFePO4, they don't draw power they accept power like any other battery. they just do it more efficiently.
a 3000 watt, wow are you running the microwave and the toaster at the same time? I just run a 2000 watt in my 5th wheel, I couldn't imagine what I would do with a 3000 watt inverter haha. I am looking at the renogy 2000 watt inverter/charger for my truck camper. just haven't decided for sure if I want to put an inverter in it yet. if I do THIS is the one I am looking at.

The Victron Displays a warning message about if an external charging source with a higher operating voltage is applied to the circuit, the Victron will shut down and go into a safety more from which you need to disconnect the battery and solar from the MPPT controller and remove the over voltage device before the system will restore.
