Realized that my setup wouldn't really need the ML-ACR, so I'm going with the SI-ACR:

Basically, I'll have a 10 gauge or so wire going from the start batteries, through a 30 amp breaker, into the SI-ACR, then out of the SI-ACR to the solar charge controller. Simple.
I'll then have one manual A-B switch to switch between shore DC charging and the alternator charging source. When I get solar panels, I'll put a relay in that will cut out the solar panels when the 120v shore power is active.
I don't mind a manual switch to engage alternator charging as hopefully when I do get solar panels I won't really need the alternator charging!
The only feature I'm missing is the ability to parallel the house batteries with the starter batteries if needed, but in that rare case I think a long battery jumper cable going out the window will do.
