This means the chassis battery is only charged with the engine. I’ve read where some of us use a maintainer, plugged into the power port when on shore power.

If I were to replace the momentary emergency start switch with a latch style switch. I could then charge both chassis and coach batteries when on shore power. Yes , it’s something you have to remember when off of shore power but sometimes I’m on shore for weeks on end.

So, let’s hear some opinions and maybe shoot a hole in my theory.
I have a 2018 Four winds 22E (Class C) the chassis battery is only charged by the engine.
I added a Trik L Start:
Mega TRIK-L-START Starting Battery Charger/Maintainer
Charges the chassis battery from shore power, Generator power, or solar power.
$55 + $8 shipping, and I installed it in 20 minutes
