Listen to Ona Quest. He sent me the link on the BCC and I have the same problem on my 05 Bounder 35E. Bought it new and the coach and chassis batteries always were charged when hooked up to shore power or on gen. I am not to good on electronics and have an extended warranty so it is in the shop as we speak. I bet your auxiliary boost is not working either?

I wonder if its just specific models. I know our neighbours discovery doesn't have the circuitry to charge the chassis batterys and he uses a trikl start type product. He does have the aux boost relay obviously.
By the way, Your location kinda threw me a bit. I thought you were from French Canada with a location like "La Canada" Then I figured out the gender was wrong (Le Canada for Canada) and it was the Spanish spelling La Cañada with the ñ. Then the California made sense. I googled it. I never knew there was a place called La Cañada in California, and only a couple hours from us in Palm Springs.
Sorry, just found it amusing.

Hi John,
Ona Quest has it right. Your neighbors Discovery is not working as designed by Fleetwood.

The OP is well aware of the fact it use to do that from factory
It does not now and its simpler in most cases to just plug in a mini
battery minder system that cost like 30$ and be done with it
I have a MH that retails for 400K and thats what it uses from the factory and works extremly well
