Converter charging vehicle battery
Is there anyway to tell definitively if when hooked to shore power my converter charges not only the house batteries but the van battery? I haven't found any documentation to tell me it does. I'd like...

Before you plug in, take a multi-meter and check the voltage at the battery terminals.
Plug in and check again. If it goes up, it is charging.
The only iffy part is if fully charged the converter may not put out any power and you won't see the voltage jump (turn on a few 12v lights and it should push the converter to come on)
What valhalla360 said above.
Mine didn't charge the chassis battery, so I installed a Trik-L-Start. Now it does.
One lead to the chassis battery side of the relay that connects the two batteries together, the other lead to the house battery/converter side of the relay, the third lead to ground. You are done.
