RE: Batteries died...sheesh
So if you spend $225 +/- on new batteries and they lasts 5 years, if you spend $700 (3 times as much) on li batteries will they last 15 years (3 times longer) - or be 3 times better?
Yes! in fact more than 3 times longer and better in other ways too. Expect to get 20 years out of them based on charge discharge cycles. Also you can draw them down all the way without damage, so they have effectively double the usable power for the same amp-hour capacity, and they weigh about 1/3 of lead acid. Over life they are far cheaper than lead acid - you just pay more up front.

RE: Battery Charging on Truck Camper
If the wiring of the plug is standard, the charge wire will already be there. Here is the standard pinout of all 3 types of plugs:

RE: fridge blowing out
I spent a lot of time on this issue several years ago. The issue seemed to be caused more by the top of the chimney than the door at the back of the fridge. An air deflector in front of the chimney on the roof was the final solution. A furnace air filter taped to the inside of the rear door solved it about 80% - 90% without impacting cooling much. But every camper design is different, with different airflow patterns, so YMMV.
