Deep cycle batts

Can anyone enlighten me as to the charging of a deep cycle?

I recently replaced the dead 2nd one that came with the beast. Got an 80Ah one. When camping i will generally only run the fridge from it. If i ran it down fairly well, would it then charge enough through the alternator on a 2 or 3 hour drive home? Or would i be best to put it on a charger when i get home?

cheers

From memory it takes about 8 hours to charge it up, i usually charge it up every couple of days if i dont drive it much
