What is the best way to charge my house batteries?
The vehicle runs a 24 volt system, but the camper side requires 12 volt
Option 1: run a battery to battery charger 24v to 12v .....step charging but limited Amps available.
Option 2: battery to battery 24v to 24v, higher amps but will require power consuming 24 to 12 dropper.
Option 3: fit extra 12volt alternator to charge 12volt batteries.
Option 4: fit extra 24volt alternator and 24 to 12 dropper.
I would be interested to see what the pros and cons are from experience
My truck is a Mercedes Vario 4x4
