Battery Charger Recommendation for Getting Power Source From Alternator and Solar Panel

Question:

I have a van converted to camper and im running a 95ah agm deep cycle batter with inverter to have power when my vans not running. Im curious is it is possible to set it up to charge off the alternator by way of solenoid and also have it set-up to solar charge with panels and a controller so either option is there for cloudy days etc. Also is it possible to set it up where you can switch the running light and stereo etc to go off the aux battery when the car is turned off ? i intend to add another 95ah battery in parallel sooner or later

The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D is designed to charge a battery with either an alternator or solar panel power source like what you have. This would work well for what you need. The only way to switch the power source from your van battery to the aux batteries would be with a switch setup for each circuit.
