Add solar, especially if your camping in the western states.

With the small wires and voltage drop from front of your truck to the RV battery, your lucky if it will get 8 amps of charge.
Figuring 4 hours driving, so 32Ah or 15% added back in to 155Ah out of 206Ah.
Just a rough guess mind you.

Yes to the above, however, the LiFeP04 battery operates differently from a Lead Acid battery. Basically, the LiFePo4 battery operates at a higher voltage than the Lead Acid batteries and the LiFePo4 batteries do not experience the voltage drop that Lead Acid batteries do as they discharge. The voltage drop is what triggers the alternator to start charging the LA battery, with very little voltage drop, the alternator may not sense that your LiFePo4 battery needs to be charged and will not add any charge to the battery as you drive.
The best solution to charge your LiFePo4 battery while driving is to install a DC to DC converter that can up the voltage coming out of your truck to the 14.4v to 14.8v that your LiFePo4 battery needs for charging. Installing a DC to DC converter has the added advantage of protecting your truck's alternator from being over used (by the LiFePo4 battery) and burning out.David and Peggy
