Absolutely it will work. You do need to verify that your engine batteries are getting the voltage in that situation,. Some rv's have a feature to not allow both banks together if the engine is running and the generator is running.
If the alternator is out. It still may try to disable the combining function so you would need to verify they are getting the charge. A simple jumper around the solenoid that controls that function or one car jumper cable will work but not as safely. You can either find out how to activate that solenoid mentioned or just take the wires off and bolt together or stack them up on one post if there is room. Be sure to take pictures first.
