You can only use one charger at a time unless there are two separate battery circuits.
The Ctek will charge all batterys no problems.
It depends on what battery isolator you are using and how it is set up to whether it will charge the starter battery with the aux batterys together or only the aux batterys.
The ideal isolator should be a two ways current flow type.

YEP. Then unplug the van elec connection 7 pin plug to be sure.
When the anderson plug is unplugged then your vehicles is separate circuit to the van.
