As an epilog, the attempt to trickle charge with the vehicle isn't keeping up with the draw from the loads, but the system is still doing an excellent job of running everything we need to run. The trickle charge is helping to slow down the discharge, but I really need to install a 20-30 amp dedicated charging port to be effective while running all our stuff.
That's not a big deal on this 2-day trip home, because there's enough capacity to make it home with quite a bit in reserve, and our weather forecast is good for solar for the rest of the week, so I can open up the panels in the back yard and recharge fully.
