Thanks Vic.  That is exactly it.

Thanks guys for the info. I've got all the parts now. I've removed some cabinetry to get to the 1314 surepower. Yes Ruck and Roll, it is the surepower I'm replacing and not the Iota.There are two terminals on the surepower for each of the two battery's, truck and camper. I'm removing the truck battery wire entirely .The camper battery wire (positive) is connected to the other terminal along with a wire to power the 12 volt fuss block. I'll remove the surepower . I'll splice the two wires together, that we're connected at the terminal. The camper battery wire (positive) will now go to a positive buss bar. The camper battery positive terminal will go to one side of the Blue Sea ACR, 6 gage wire.I'll also connect to this terminal a 6 gage going to a positive buss bar. I'll use the buss bar to now power the 12 volt fuse panel,using that wire I spliced together from the surepower. The other side of the ACR will connect to a 60 amp breaker ,then to truck battery,6 gage wire. Both battery negatives , connect to a negative bussbar, 6 gage wire.From here I can connect solar controller,inverter, and battery monitor using the buss bars. Do you see anything wrong or maybe improved with this wiring?
Thanks everyone

The diagram is a picture of the system. It is mounted on three-quarter inch by 13” x 13” ply. It will screw to the back side of the bench seat, right next to the batteries , sorry for the small pictures, it wouldn’t load otherwise

Quick look,

 

I would be taking the positive and negative wire from the truck battery straight to the camper battery (after the positive goes through the Blue Sea ACR.  It would be good that the ACR sees at the battery voltage.  You have a 60 amp breaker at each battery. Good with 6-gauge wire.

 

The inverter positive that you have at the buss bar, remove it from the ACR and go straight to camper battery with about a 40-amp breaker.

 

I would have the output on the MPPT go straight to the camper battery.  You can add about a 40-amp fuse on the positive wire at the camper battery.

 

That is a quick look.
