Most house batteries charge, when engine is running ( on the road ).

Start your engine and wait a few minutes, then check the volts on the house batteries. Look for more then 12.8 volts.

It would appear American English is not your first language...NOT a problem.

IF I understand correctly translated the question is:
Driving down the road does the Engine Alternator charge the house battery?

Since your RV is a motor home the answer is:
IF IT IS WORKING PROPERLY (note the emphasys) and you have the batteries in the CONNECTED (Use) state..YES.

If disconnected..I have never tried it that way so I do not know.

But if connected so you can use them YES they do.

Your BIRD System charges all the coach batteries while on the road from your alternator.
Bird works in reverse charges your chassis batteries first than the house batteries.
When you on shore power or Gen the house get charged first than the chassis batteries,
You have a Newmar, links are found in QT's # 3.
Welcome to the forum and irv2.
Here is a Brochure and Owners Guide for you.
Workhorse chassis forum.
Important Workhorse information.
Have your battery cut off on when ever using your coach and if you can plug in while at home into 120 leave it always on, Bird will maintain your battery systems.
Nice looking coach you have there, safe travels.
Below in my signature there are links to many more for your Newmar.
Enjoy the forums and safe travels.

Hi Frabo,
All 2006 Newmar coaches charge the coach and chassis batteries while driving. When parked and connected to shore power, all 2006 Newmar coaches charge the coach and chassis batteries. If this does not occur, the BIRD systems needs to be checked out.
