Expanded Battery Bank?

Not quite sure where to post this question...

I am considering expanding my battery bank on the trailer from 2 to 3 AGM group 27 marine batteries (weight/balance issues permitting). But in addition to that, I want to know if anyone has expanded their battery bank to include an in-bed bank in their tow vehicle. I would make sure that the weight/balance was within parameters for the TV and towing the trailer. My intent would be to connect the two via a marine grade umbilical.

Has anyone done this? Am I crazy?

I like to boondock, but periodically stay at full hookups along the way. I could charge up the combined bank at the point and have more "staying power" once I am in the "wilds".

Any input/encouragement would be appreciate.

The wife is giving me that funny look...
