As mentioned before, my chassis (engine start) battery is charged by the alternator. Only. So, you gotta run the engine to keep the charge up. However, when the engine is running, that ALSO charges the coach batteries.
I have a Trik-l-Charge and it works great. UNTIL....it discharges the coach batteries to make them not work.(Yeah, I know...there is supposed to be a "fail-safe here, but......)
I found the best way to use the Trik-l-Charge is when snowbirding...and the coach does not move for months.
Then, you are on shore power....that does charge the coach batteries, then the Trik-L-Charger can work and keep the 12V chassis battery charged.
