I have the domestic and engine batteries completely separate. The domestic side side runs solely from the solar panels and even with 12v compressor driven refrigeration I have never had an issue. I do have the ability to link the batteries for emergency starting or alternator charging but have never had to use it. I have 240w of solar panels and 3 120AH Gel batteries.
Sounds like a good setup, I can link both the house and engine for emergency starting and the alternator charges both house and engine banks but certainly looking to making things better but have a bit of sorting out to do and I suspect some really bad earths
