Alternator: How many batteries can it take?
I have a diesel, so two batteries for truck, there are two 6-volt for the Truck Camper, and I want to put a deep cycle battery in the cargo trailer. The Camper does have 200 watt solar to charge it...

I purposely did not give details on the battery locations, distance etc because I am not looking for battery information of any sort, though it is always useful and appreciated. I'm just asking about the alternator.
If you build it for maybe 60 amps with #6 wire you should be fine.
