No, I don't. First of all, inverters don't charge batteries, converters do, Some units have a combined converter/inverter unit, but it is the converter that has the function of charging the house batteries.
But the converter will also charge the chassis battery as I said "by closing the cross-connect relay when a sufficient difference in voltage is detected". The same way the alternator will also charge the house batteries "by closing the cross-connect relay when a sufficient difference in voltage is detected" even though the alternator will always directly charge the chassis battery.
