Steve,
The 40 amp has a jumper that may be removed to allow it to work at 20 amps. I would go with the 40 because of that feature.

PT says 1/3 for running so 220/3 = 73 amps and the 60 will pull 90, so the 40 pulling 60 seems right. But that needs a wire upgrade from the 7-pin's.
I put an on /off switch on the "ignition" wire that goes to a 12v source in the camper, not the truck. I have the 20 amp DC-DC with 7-pin input. It does great with constant 20 amps, and pulls maybe 30 amps which the 7-pin can handle ok, and also the alternator at 1/3.

-The base alternator is still a 157A single unit on the 6.7L.
-Extra Heavy Duty Alternator (220A single unit) is the first possible upgrade:
Required on any truck with the snowplow package
Required on any Lariat and up trim truck with the upfitter switches OR 110v outlet
Required on any XL or XLT truck with the upfitter switches and 110v outlet ordered together

AFAIK, if your LFPs want more amps than what the 7-pin can supply it will just blow the fuse on the pin # 4 wire.
Not clear what you really want for a set-up here. Once that is clear , there will be a number of ways to do it.
