House battery charging by alternator

I am trying to understand how the charging system works on our 2007 Coachmen Concord. It seems that the truck alternator charges the house batteries at different times. For instance on a recent day trip, the alternator was not charging on the first 1 hour driving segments. On the third start, it started charging the house batteries. I have no idea how it determines when to charge. I do have a solar system as well so not sure if this is causing some confusion but it seems clear that alternator charging is not consistent. Any ideas?
