45 Amp converter vs 160 Amp alternator?

Your chassis battery is connected to the alternator with a heavy gauge battery cable pumping the full 160 amp alternator charge into that battery just like every other vehicle. Your coach batteries are connected to that same charging system with a much small gauge wire attempting to charge 2 50% depleted batteries at extremely reduced rate due to wire size. Traveling 8-10 hours your chassis battery if discharged 50% will be completely charged in a matter of a couple hours with the alternator, but your your 50% coach batteries will most likely be at about 60% when you stop.
If running the generator all 12 volt items in the coach are powered up plus full amperage of your converter charging the batteries.
