If you have a voltmeter you can plug in overnight and check. 13.2+ volts on the chassis battery is getting a charge. 12.6 volts or less is not getting a charge.
You can add a battery combiner, such as Trik-L-Start, that will send power from the house system to the chassis battery. The combiner will separate the batteries if you are not plugged in.
A 20 yo MH may have had something installed by a prior owner. Check it.
Best answer.
OE, chassis battery did not charge from shore power or generator.
But, many owners DID add devices to do this. Either separate small smart charger or "smart thief" device that takes amps from house bank when the house bank is above a certain voltage.
ONLY YOUR VOLTMETER KNOWS FOR SURE.
