Fred,
(...text deleted...) as long as I've been camping, starting with a couple of trucks and campers, then, two class Cs, a '78 Dodge "4-Star" (440 cu.in.), an '89 Ford Class C, (460 cu.in.), a '99 Fleetwood Bounder Class A with the V-10 and finally, our present coach, an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the 330 C-7 CAT and, every one of those units have the engine alternator charge both sets of batteries.
(...text deleted....) but, are you sure that you don't have something broke or, disconnected that is supposed to be charging your house batteries while driving? Sure seems a bit odd to me but, again, I'm no expert. Just wondering.

Thanks for your post.
I would love to find an existing charging circuit to keep the house batteries up while driving.
When the chassis is produced by Freightliner and delivered to the manufacturer of the motorhome, it only has cranking batteries. The house batteries are added by the motorhome manufacturer. As far as I can tell, Holiday Rambler (Monaco) did not add the charging circuit to this model. If anyone out there that has a 2000 era Holiday Rambler on a Freightliner chassis reads this, please chime in and let us know if your chassis has a device to automatically tie the two circuits together.
Any/all ideas welcome.
Fred
