Sounds like you have a large diesel pusher. I would think it came with a inverter with a built in charger which should charge batteries when hooked up to shore power. Mine is a Heart Inverter 2000 whatever.
In the majority of motorhomes, inverter/charger does not charge the chassis batteries, only the coach batteries. There are exceptions, American coach, some of the bounders, some monacos and a few others.
I think you will find that most DPs above entry level use something like an Echo charger. All Alpines did, all the CC, Foretravels, Newmars, and Tiffins we've seen have had them. our coach is 11 years old, so no, it is not something new.
