The WFCO 8735 AD Converter you are considering is only 35 amps. If you install 200ah of Lithium batteries it will take a long time to charge your batteries if you ever need to charge them from a generator. I would recommend at least a 55 to 70 amp Lithium Converter, I also would recommend a Progressive Dynamics Converter over WFCO as I haven't heard any positive things about the WFCO AD Converters.
You might need to switch to a stand-alone Converter to get the higher amperage, you can just disconnect the old WFCO Converter and leave it in place (if you want to).David and Peggy

When you have a battery bank that is 200 to 400 ah or more, a ~ 30 amp, 7-pin connection is not going to contribute an much in the way of charge your battery bank.
To realistically charge from your truck, you would need to install a DC to DC Converter in the truck along with heavy duty cables.
In my situation I originally disconnected the charging from the truck to the camper, however I recently decided to install a DC to DC Converter in the truck because there have been a few days where I felt we did not get enough Solar charging and I would have liked to have had a bit more charge to start our evening with (usually, I ran the A/C too much during our lunch stop).David and Peggy
