It was also clear the house batteries powered the motor by looking at the 12V schematics.
In both my Outlaw and Magnitude, the engine had to be running so the alternator provided enough of a voltage boost to the house batteries for the motor to work properly.

What you state is entirely true that the house batteries power the motor, but the motor relay is controlled by the computer powered by the chassis battery. You can trip the 100 amp circuit breaker and the panel will still show the chassis battery voltage. This is because the interlock for the parking brake powered by the chassis battery also goes to the jack's computer. The whole interlock circuit and relay board (down by the drivers left foot) is powered by the chassis battery. That board powers everything in the front cap except the power ports and the radio.
At least, that the way my coach works.
