I see. Thanks for the response. Connecting negative/ground to battery should work even though not ideal. I assume that you used a fuse/breaker somewhere in the positive line.
Yes I used an inline fuse for the positive and a circuit breaker for the ground so I can disconnect completely when I need to work on the van. This may be called alternator charging, but this is how the DC to DC chargers I know of instruct you to set them up. To your starter battery.
I don't think you understand how the Alternator Sense wire harness works.. It only starts charging when it senses the alternator running.. As any new DC-DC charger has a back feed shut off.. Unless it has a solar input.. If it does. It will start charging your van battery. Once the House batteries are full..

I connected the ground to the battery directly, the positive to that bus bar. I believe I doubled up the large existing red wire.

Hi. Inwas hoping to see how you connected the wires to the starter battery ?
I have the exact battery busbar as you have. How did you connect the DC wire finally to the batter fuse bar?
