-If you wanted to extract more power from the alternator you could wire in [[electrical:12v:alternator|an isolator]] (plain solenoid or VSR).  Instead of feeding an auxilliary battery this isolator would be used to pull more current into the living area.  You could run 12v loads directly, or attach an inverter's input wires to the isolator's outputs.((positive to isolator, negative to chassis ground)) +
