Could I get a charging system explanation please?

As told in another post, the TC and Chevy got hit by lightning! :E Truck was at dealer for 2 weeks and after replacing many modules and $4000 later it was fixed. TC generator got a new control board...

And, the TC was plugged in to shore power when is sucked the truck batteries dry in our driveway.

That's an interesting detail. With no isolator the converter (if functioning) should have kept the truck batteries charged along with the house batteries. Was there a charge on the camper battery when the truck's battery was dead?
