Why do you need hookups when you have batteries that will let you survive one night?

Since the OP has a class B, there should be no question as to whether the house battery or batteries will charge decently from the alternator. If they don't, it means there's something broken in the battery isolator/combiner circuitry. The battery capacity may be somewhat limited due to space constraints, though, but it should be sufficient for one night even in cold weather.
