2008 Tioga battery questions

I have a 2008 Fleetwood Tioga 31M.
Will the original battery charger when using shore power, charge both of my batteries (Coach & Chassis)?
Is it better to use something like the "TRIK-L-CHARGE" to charge the chassis battery?

When I'm plugged into shore power at home. Is it ok to leave the RV plugged in for a week or so to keep the batteries charged?

How often should I check the water level in the batteries?

Thank you for your help. I've had this RV for a year now. But I've never thought about battery problems, until I started reading other posts.
  • It depends on what type of charger the converter has. Older ones have a single charge rate and newer ones are smart multi phase chargers, which are much better for the batteries. The single chargers need the water level checked often. My unit only charges the coach batteries.
