Trickle Charging Chassis battery
I am new to everything in our new (used Tiffin 33aa) coach, but am learning fast. I just learned the battery charger is only connected to house batteries, not chassis batteries. I have power connected...

If the batteries are all together it would be a simple matter to connect the starting battery in parallel with the house bank & give it a trickle charge that way.
There are always ghost draws of power however small. The only way to make the vehicle completely dead is to physically disconnect the battery. It will still discharge. About 10% per month for a wet cell. 5% per month if you have AGMs.
AGMs are more forgiving. My 5er was put away last week. It has a single 4D AGM. Battery was disconnected & won't see any attention till next April. My last AGM gave me 9 years service storing this way.
