Sorry, no help for Jason... but I'm planning on adding an aux battery to my
transporter.  If I wire a normal battery parallel with a knife switch
between the batteries, will this allow me to charge the aux while running
and not drain the main while camping?  Will my stock alternator handle this?
  Could it possibly cause coolent leakage at the heads (just kidding)?

Thanks
