The route that you would see the largest return would be to skip the hydrogen all together and take a smaller number of batteries and use them to run the electrical loads on your vehicle without an alternator being hooked up.
I don't see why people call them hydrogen generators... they should be called hydrogen heaters because you make more heat then anything else, the split water is almost a byproduct.
But my first point is, it takes so much energy to split water that the battery bank you are going to need is going to be larger then the battery bank you will need to go the same number of miles using a set of deep cycle batteries instead of having your alternator hooked up, you can bench test this your self and get your own numbers then compare it to how many amps your alternator puts out under a given load.
