I have my engine battery connected to the pair of house batteries all the time. The solar keeps them all charged. At first I disconnected them when camping but eventually forgot and no problems resulted. The wire is 14 gauge about 25 feet long so not a whole lot of current will be drawn from the house batteries when starting the engine. The engine battery has never been discharged much by the house because the solar always keeps the house batteries over 80% charged.
