Chassis battery charger

[countrypair]

Our (new to us) 2006 Kountry Star KSDP has the solar panel & prep. As I understand it the chassis batteries are not charged when on shore power. If this is correct, what is the best method to ensure they're being charged?

Thanks for any help.

Hi countrypair,
The chassis batteries are charged when on shore power. Installed in your coach there is a B.I.R.D. (by directional isolator relay). When on shore power, the coach batteries first, then the chassis batteries are charged. It will keep both sets of batteries fully charged. The solar panel, on the roof, is a maintenance panel. It should keep the chassis batteries at the level they were at when you turned off the engine. It will not improve the state of charge.

The Bird system which you will find here does all your charging of all batteries either shore or alternator when driving.
This is your fuse wiring systems in your coach.
