I turned off the a/c and except for the Victron inverter, BMV-712, and CCGX nothing was running in the camper. (Ignore the 0% shown on the screen shot--I inadvertently turned everything off which reset my SOC.) The reading on the left was without the truck connected. The one on the right was the best I could get out of the truck. A whopping 8.1A of 12vDC.
Bottom line: anecdotally I've always heard that the truck only provides a "trickle charge". Unless you can think of a different way to run the test, I'm convinced this is the best it will do in the OEM configuration through the 7-pin connector.
