First, are you assuming that the chassis battery doesn't charge when the coach is plugged in......or did you actually test it to be sure ?
You NEED a multi-meter, for this and future questions/problems.
Neither of my two units did either.....but they were supposed to and the fix was fairly simple and inexpensive. The bad "battery relay" caused the coach batteries not to charge when going down the road either.
P.S. If you find that you do need a separate charger, it needs to be an automatic tender type and NOT a cheap trickle charger. The difference is important.
