For most Thor RV's, duncii's 'YES' answers are correct... (The converter/charger would not be involved in charging the coach from the engine - but is from the generator.)

But this specific question is for the Mercedes chassis. From what I have seen here - I think the Mercedes chassis is an exception...

Recall another owner reporting Mercedes doesn't allow the chassis and house batteries to join... No emergency start, no charging coach from alternator, no chassis charging from genny/shore power.
May want to verify - as I am just relaying what I've seen here.
(If you don't have an emergency start - there is likely no means to tie the battery banks together...)

The generator should charge the coach batteries via the converter/charger. (Use/store switch must be in 'USE')

Just further reason the only correct answers at times are 'maybe' or 'it depends'...
