Usually, yes.
Get a DC voltmeter and connect it to the coach batteries. Check the voltage. Now, start the engine. If the voltage increases to 13.8 to 14.2 volts, the batteries are being charged by the alternator. If the voltage does not increase, there may be something wrong. Find it and fix it. Or, the coach was never wired to allow the engine alternator to charge the coach batteries. A competent tech can fix that, too.
good luck.
