House/chassis battery issue
I have a 2007 Coachmen Concord DS275 and discovered that the only way to charge the chassis batteries is by the alternator. Shore power charges house batteries only. This is a real issue for me as th...

Well I think the Trik-L-Start is a DC-DC trickle charger...no?
Typically an actual DC-DC charger is a bit different. A DC-DC charger will boost the voltage to give a faster charge. However this could drain the supply battery to 10 volts or less. A DC-DC is designed to boost voltage from a continuous power source to charge a battery at the end of wire that is a bit too long and too thin for proper charging. Also since the DC-DC charger creates a differential of voltage you could create a charging loop with multiple sources. Anyway this is not really what you need.
Trik-L-Start will work great.
However you may also need to look into why the battery is getting drained so fast. This will take some real time and deliberate investigation to isolate the issue.
