Solar regulator and aux battery charging
I recently had 300W of flex solar panels installed on my class C and man do they pump out power. I'm happy with my Blue Sky MPPT regulator since it charges the starting battery. The only problem is th...

Starting battery, coach battery, chassis battery. Two of these things are not like the other.
I'm only guessing that the starting battery and the chassis battery are one and the same.
But, you say that charging the starting battery only charges when the coach battery has reached "acceptance" mode. Again, I'm only guessing that you mean absorption, which would be around 80%, so the starting battery doesn't get much charge.
If you want both to charge, perhaps add one of the cheap PWM controllers, put one panel through that to the starting battery, and leave the other 2 panels connected to the BlueSky.
