Driving seems to keep all batteries charged.

I have also had similar problems with the chasis battery going dead. The house batteries are charging and holding a charge. The RV has been to Ford twice and they insist there is nothing wrong with the truck side of the system or the truck battery. If I let it sit for a few days, not plugged into shore power, the truck battery goes dead. While poking around I discovered (1) if the house batteries are put in standby, the truck battery does not go dead (2) the dash radio is connected to the truck battery and when I pull the fuse out of the back of the radio, the truck battery quit going dead. Thor insists the radio is connected to the house batteries and this cannot happen. Go figure....
