More I think about this, I'd want a relay or some solid state device (that I am incapable of understanding much less designing) that would isolate the two vehicles' batteries when the coach was not running. Otherwise, leaving something ON in either vehicle would run both down.
Starting toad with coach not running (and a relay or such) would not affect the charge line. Starting coach with toad connected would, unless the ACC terminal isn't powered while key is in START which might be true.
Maybe just too cautious... I just think about one vehicle's battery getting low somehow and the other battery trying to crank that vehicle through the charge line. But if all it does is blow a 10A fuse, not so bad...
