One truism about motorhomes - any blanket statement like that will be wrong.
What applies to your coach or class (C vs A) or even model, may not apply to other coaches, classes, models, or even the same model as yours in a different year. In fact, even if you have verified your converter does not charge the chassis battery, it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't supposed to. Many people have found defective and mis-wired BIRDs, BIMs, and BCCs.
Most Class Cs on the MB chassis fully isolate the chassis and house batteries.
Some C lass Cs on Ford and Chevy chassis isolate the chassis and house batteries.
Few Class A's isolate the chassis and house batteries during charging operations.
