Vehicle battery not charging

Last year we bought a 2017 Siesta 24SS. While the MH is connected to shore power, it charges the MH batteries but not the vehicle battery. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sprinter chassis: right?
That's how they work...
I bought a 40 watt solar panel to keep my chassis battery charged.

Bob, thanks. I will continue using the small solar panel.

I never even thought about his possibility... until the chassis battery was as dead as if I had dropped a house on it.
learned it the hard way; but all is good now. :thumhttps://www.thorforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=32153&stc=1&d=16268092 84b:

I barely know which fingers to keep out of the outlets at home...
Check with Paul Wadley: he figured out a way to get juice to the chassis battery...
