Yes you could do what you asked but if coach batteries discharge so will your chassis battery.

Thanks for the comment. I thought that might be the case - that the “battery boost” and alternator to house batteries might be the same relay. That makes sense - why have two or make it any more complicated. I would not leave the switch taped down for more than half a day (if that long) and I could routinely check it, so I am not worried about discharging the house batteries. I guess I will give Winnebago a call and see what they say. The people there seem pretty knowledgeable.
