generator starter hooked up to coach or chassis battery?

Hello, In my 1990 Ford Falcon class-B, the generator's starter is connected to the coach battery. Advantages/disadvantage? I am wondering if this is the "normal" way of connecting the gen's start...

The OP is asking about how the generator is started, whether from the chassis battery or the house battery and which is the best way.

The question has nothing to do with which battery the generator charges.
