Engine charging of coach batteries
I have a general question about how the (Class A) coach batteries are charged from the engine alternator while the engine is running. I am not at all sure that they even are so charged, as I cannot...

Yes, I checked, no it did not charge them. Brought it to my dealer's attention and they verified. No issue, just wasn't set up that way. Was the first year for the ACE so maybe that model didn't. My newer one does. I remember a recall with the BCC and they bypassed the engine Batt disconnect, maybe that had something to do with it. My new ACE does not have a disconnect for the engine batt. I am no electrician, all I can say is , it didn't and I had it checked out. Maybe it was the BCC, who knows.
I think you hit it with the bad BCC. Even our old '86 Toyota based Dolphin Class C charged the coach batteries by way of the isolator relay. I've never seen an A or C that didn't charge the coach batteries when everything was working correctly.
