Both of the DC chargers will pull reduced amps from the bargman cable (in the superior Victron, that's a cellphone-programmable parameter). They also pull nothing at all when voltage on the TBC falls too low.

But your on-board power converter might need to be upgraded, and your "200Ah battery setup" plan might be be an especially good one. Feel free to contact me via PM or post here, with your tentative plans or any questions. I'm way smarter than "rvacrossamerica" about this stuff.
