Will Victron Orion Smart 18A 12V DC to DC charger do the job?

Hi, I'm looking to install a B2B charger into my campervan, which has a Euro 6 engine (so regenerative breaking). I only want to charge a small leisure battery (75aH) as my electricity requirements are minimal.

I'm strongly considering the Victron Orion Smart 18A 12V DC to DC charger. I'd be swapping out a old Voltage Sensitive relay for this, will be be a fairly straight forward swap?

Yeah, it should be. Sounds to me like all you need to do is swap the device. Only thing I can think of is that if the voltage sensitive relay is in the engine bay, you might not want to place your Victron device there due to heat from the engine?
