Sorry to hear from Booster that we have an on going problem. However, we will conduct an experiment by not connecting shore power to the RV and see what happens.
If by manual assist from coach batteries means using the coach batteries to start, Ii is not a good idea on a Roadtrek.

You could use the assist to charge the starter a bit, as the the dead battery will take some charge from the charged ones, but I wouldn't try to start off the coach batteries.
