For the alternator- When we went on the trip, the person that sold us the new batteries had told us to move our trickle charger to the house batteries instead of the chassis. So we had batteries charging.. from themselves. I suspect this is why we lost all power when driving.
Sorry, the trickle charger has absolutely NOTHING to do with the alternator charging both battery banks when the engine is running.
You really need someone familiar with RV's to troubleshoot your charging system-- both from shore power/generator AND alternator.
