Takes salesman language to call " charger" something that is not charging anything.
Looks like that small gizmo is doing the same what my 200 amp "Battery combiner" does.
It is not a "battery combiner" in that it has a diode that only allows current to go one way. It will allow the converter to charge the chassis battery, but it does not allow any current to flow from the chassis battery back to the house.
And, even though it is DC powered, it has control logic that won't allow it to work unless the RV is plugged in, so it can't drain your house battery. So, the RV's shore power cord is, in a way, the Trik-L-Start's power cord.
