Your truck with the engine running is putting out close to 14v while your coach batteries only add 12+ volts. So it may be able to overcome a bad battery cell or connection.

The battery connections are tight. Haven’t checked for a bad ground yet, but I would think that a bad ground would cause the issue to be more frequent.
I also had the thought that the house battery could be weak also since they are probably both around the same age. When I get ready to leave the campground, I plan to leave shore power connected until after I start the engine. It may give me a little edge in power available.
Thanks for your comments.
