House Battery Charge While Underway
Once again I come to the best wisdom source to be found. 07 Holiday Rambler, 4 6v house batts, Magnum controller, Magnum inverter 2012. Situation is, when we dry camp we run the gen for 2 hours...

nice that the last few responses are from people who actually own Monaco products, they are a little different than other manufacturers.
"Middle range monaco's" such as ours, have a BIG relay in the battery compartment, pass side behind the back tires. A "trombetta continuous duty solenoid" It looks like the starter relay on an old Ford.
It ties both battery banks together. Controlled by the boost switch, as well as by whichever of 3 or 4 different IRD or BIRD systems that could be installed on your Monaco Product.
Ours is an 08, and had the newest BIRD system (bidirectional) It also had a bad trombetta relay. Once that was replaced, it does always charge all batteries from any available charging source.
Not sure what system your '07 would have.
