If your trolling battery is a 12V lead acid battery you'll have no major 
problem charging it with your car. The only caveat is that the resistance 
of the heavy wires from the front to the back of the car may slow down 
the charging of the trolling battery, especially when the inverter is 
drawing alot of current. Also, you'll need a relay that can handle the 
inverter current if you're going to control that too.

I'll email you a schematic soon.
