Does the converter charge the chassis battery as well?

In most cases no. That is done via the alternator when driving.

Check out Trik-L-Start Trik-L-Start | for Batteries

My RV came from the factory with one installed.

Many coaches do charge the chassis battery on shore power. Mine was equipped with a B.I.R.D. If your question is just for your MH plug it into shore power and check the voltage at the coach batteries and then the chassis battery. If they are the same, turn on the parking lights and read chassis voltage. If still the same, then yes yours does. If the volts drop on the chassis battery and stay down then no it doesn't. Digital volt meters are available for under $20.00 if you don't have one. I saw one at Harbor Freight for under $10.00.

Ours does, but it has a B.I.R.D. to allow it.
