An RV battery at 80F will only START bubbling vigorously at FOURTEEN POINT EIGHT VOLTS after it reaches about 70% state of charge. Next time after a long freeway run measure your motorhome house battery while the engine is still running. Sur-prise!
I charge my batteries at 14.8 volts from the second the charger starts until the electrolyte starts to bubble three or four bubbles a second then I reduce the charge rate.
"Smart" chargers are like state highway workers. Cut them slack and they lean on a shovel. A battery charger allows the "smart" charger to start leaning right off the bat. This is exactly why I recommended the power supply units. I've got better things to do than play games with a smart charger that has an IQ of around 60.
