Your house battery should recharge fastest by driving. I think there's a specific line in the RT manual that it takes 10 hours of charging via generator or shore power to equal 2 hours of driving.
IIRC from my 2 RT 190's ('00 & '02), the battery switch can be on or off without changing whether the house battery charges. Once you have at least a partial charge on it, the disconnect relay should work unless there are other issues.
Your RT 190 is a class B, not a 'B+' (C). Someone in the B forum probably can explain how the disconnect switch works; there's something odd about the sequence of plugging into shore power and operating the disconnect switch to keep the battery from overcharging. It's been about 7 years since I sold nmy last one, so I don't recall the details for certain. I'm assuming you still have the original relay and 'battery boiler' converter.
