Whats the best way to do this? Slave a triple rectifier to a roadking....I know you can use the slave out from the roadking but where to input into the triple rectifier?

Right from the users manual:

PATCHING EFFECTS: (Continued) NOTE: The FX LOOP RETURN jack can be used as an input to the power amp of your Recto making it possible to use it for amplifying signals derived from other preamps or effects in a stereo set-up. When connecting to this jack as a power amp input only the OUTPUT and SOLO Controls and Channel 2 & 3 mode select switches will be active. For the most balanced response in power use Channel 2 or 3 in the RAW or VINTAGE modes. This will configure the power section with the proper amount of negative feedback which will in turn make the Rectos’ power stage respond with a more traditional input sensitivity.
The PRESENCE Control will work in this scenario and you can use it to tailor the top end harmonics to your needs. The MODERN mode can be selected to achieve a substantially higher input sensitivity, but you will have to be careful as this will make the OUTPUT Control extremely more powerful and the amp will be LOUD. Also the PRESENCE Control will have no effect on the sound in the Modern mode in this scenario.

Slaving WILL sound like crap if you are not informed on the proper way to do it.

well of course thats how you sLave one amp to another!

amp 1 loop send to amp 2 loop return.

if you go from amp 1 loop send to amp 2 input you are shoving a line level signal into an instrument level again so could get a bit squashy, and over complicated with another set of pre controls to sort.
