Battery & electrical questions
I have a 2014 Coachmen 21QB on a Chevy 4500 chassis, with an Onan 4KW generator. *Does the generator have its own starting battery? If so, how is this battery charged? Or does the generator crank...

Almost every RV is set up to allow the chassis alternator to charge the house battery. (it's a beautiful thing that comes almost for free).
I have a 2015 Thor Majestic 28a...In my experience, the chassis alternator does a great job charging the house batteries. I have a battery monitor on my house battery bank. When the house batteries are at ~50%, I have seen my chassis alternator pumping 50+ amps into my house batteries when the engine is running (even just idling).
