Can the FWC charge controller/Q4 run current into the truck battery when camper is hooked up on 110v outside power?
Thanks...

Now to answer your question. No... with the current separator you have the voltage current from the camper 120 volt charger will not charge the battery.
It will allow charge from the truck to the camper battery but not right away, it could take a minute or two. Here is the kicker with that separator, if your camper battery is too low in voltage ( can't remember that number) the separator will not open to charge the camper battery. It's a bummer because that is when you really need to have it charged. The separator won't connect until the camper battery's voltage is brought up.
This reason is why FWC has gone to Blue Seas dual sensing separator and others here have replaced their older version as Rando has mentioned.
With a remote switched separator you have the control and options
to have the battery's never see each other,
run it in auto mode where it will open and close either direction based on voltage( charge from either charge source, truck or camper and all batteries are charged)
OR manually connect all battery's were could be good if you need to make sure the camper battery gets charged or need to jump start the truck battery.
Right now I have the camper Iota charging the camper and truck battery's.
