true.. Plus most of the time the panels on AS will be doing the charging.
The panel on truck will only be used when there is too much shade or lots of overcast and the extra power will be needed..
My , our, plan is to stay in cool summer weather with little rain or cloud cover etc.. LOL

You can put the PWM and the MPPT on the same battery bank and they will add their amps if their set voltages are similar. It is the voltages that count, not whether they are in bulk at the same time. It is no different from any number of chargers on a bank at the same time. Keep their voltages nearly the same.
I don't know what the Bogart's voltages are. The Tracer will go to about 14.6 or 14.8 (you can adjust a little by picking AGM or Flooded)and then stay at that for 2 hours then drop to about 13.6.
So for most of the day they ought to be fairly close in voltage to mostly add their amps if the Bogart high set point is about 14.6 or so.
