Solar generator and truck camping
I got to try out a Jackery 1000 solar generator(22 pounds) and solar panels to see how they would work for a truck camper..Actually,I am pretty impressed..The ability to use the pure sinewave inverter...

Just a thought, you keep saying there's no room for a second battery in the camper, but do you ever camp with the camper off the truck?
If not, there's room for another battery under the hood of the truck.
Heck, with your setup now, you can monitor you DC system easily. 3 batteries could be wired into the camper (including the start battery for the truck) and for under $100 more, cheap insurance of a lithium jump pack in case you accidentally run them all down.
Plus you're packing a generator anyway, so you have backup power to charge the system with.
