Most units do not charge the house batteries with the engine alternator. If you have an inverter in the coach the inverter will allow the refrigerator to run off the house batteries until (whichever occurs first) 1) you start the generator, 2) you plug into shore power, 3) you open the propane to allow the frig to run off LP or 4) the house batteries go dead.

Not sure about the Hurricane, but my Challenger has a feature, that if turned on, will automatically start the generator when the house battery charge drops below a certain level. Since the Challenger has a residential refrigerator the house batteries are critical because I can't switch over to LP.
