It's worth sorting out a D+ trigger for the B2B (DC-DC charger) even if you have a dumb alternator. If you use voltage sensing instead, then anything that raises the starter battery voltage will turn on the B2B. Such as trickle-charging the starter battery, or charging the starter battery from solar. Voltage sensing is fine for simple systems, but can cause problems with more complex systems. D+ sensing just works.Thanks. I knew that box had the fuses for the fridge and step (took me ages to locate the step fuse when it failed). Didn't know it also had a D+ connection, but it now seems likely that I have a dumb alternator in which case I don't need to connect to D+.
Could be I've been seeking a solution to a problem that I don't have
