Jim,
I just had the same problem, American Tradition 2004. AC told me the charge system first charges the House batteries and when they are full switches to the Chassis batteries. My problem was the relay that handles that function was bad. It is also the relay that combines batteries for the Aux Start function. the next time you find the Chassis batteries low, try the Aux Start and see if that works. That would be a way to check the relay if it functions like mine.
Good luck.
