Parallel hookup doubles the CCA. As far as load on the alternator - I cannot see where it can possibly be a problem. It's going to put back into the batteries whatever you use - and that's it. Once a battery is fully charged, it takes next to nothing to maintain it. I've got a Chevy Blazer diesel with a motorhome body on it - and in all it has four batteries and a smaller alternator than my Dodge has. Two starting batteries and two deep-cycle batteries - all charged by the one Delco 10SI alternator.

Are the two batteries installed sideways in your Dodge? I checked on mine, and it looks as though two put in sideways and hooked in parallel - will just fit.

Thanks for clarifying JD, I didn`t really think it would matter, just didn`t want to offer that as fact. I`m not great with a computer but I believe FWIW means---For What It`s Worth...
