For all my electrical savvy friends out there... I have a Class B which is set up so the house batteries are charged by both the engine alternator or shore power/generator/solar panels but the chassis battery is only charged by the engine alternator. However I do have a “Battery Boost” switch which connects the chassis battery to the house batteries. My solar panels keep the house batteries at full charge all the time, but the engine battery degrades slowly.
My question - is there anything negative with taping the Battery Boost switch in the “on” position for half a day to let the solar panels charge up the chassis battery? I obviously do not want to do it permanently and i am not sure I want to do it if I am on shore power, but I cannot see any problem with temporarily taping the switch open using just the solar panels.

Thoughts?
