I would not take a chance that the on board systems would automatically supply charging voltage to the engine batteries. Some only do so after they sense that the house batteries are at full charge. What I have done in the past is just carry a set of jumper cables. I start the generator then jumper from the house battery plus post to the engine battery plus post. No need to jumper the negative since they share a common ground. Over the years this has gotten me home more than once.
