Charging system off grid

The search continues, since I can't get anything that's going to be delivered immediately I'd rather order the right one and I need a higher output alternator. Except I need to order it from Amazon, they all say they don't fit the ones that are higher output but somehow I imagine that that's not necessarily true. Anybody have any brand recommendations or any input at all cuz I'd like to minimize the time to charge if I ever need to charge it with this double charge algorithm that involves an external voltage regulator and a dc/dc charge controller which I'm still trying to wrap my head around. I don't know where to find this smart external voltage regulator that would work, I don't know what good DCTC charge controller cuz the Swiss guy in the YouTube video is not quite explaining it in my language. (I don't know if he's really Swiss) but it certainly sounds like a good idea considering it's off-grid that my house battery is charged by my alternator and the house battery charges my starter battery. And then I got to figure out how to implement a solar panel somehow, I think I plan to be moving a lot for a while before I start taking it easy and staying somewhere longer. That's what I'll worry about the solar panel.
