Bill:
I think my problem was the starting batteries were getting weak and wouldn't charge. I should have load tested them after attempting to charge them and I would have found they were going south. I also shouldn't have tried to charge two banks with very different voltage levels. The starting batteries were wet cell. The Outback is set up for AGM. What I never understood was why my Outback didn't stop charging when the coach batteries overheated. I thought the temp sensor would have sent an overheat signal to the Outback. I sent the inverter and temp sensor to Outback but they could not find anything wrong. I have had no further problems since I don't merge unless the starting batteries are low.
