my coach came with a echocharger to trickle charge the start batteries from the house batteries.  it went bad years ago and i put in a amp-l-charge that has worked great.  it has recently failed.  they are out of business

has anyone used the 

Victron Orion-tr smart DC_DC charger?

quite a bit pricier.

Tom,
Although I personally have not used the Orion but you can't go wrong with Victron stuff!

A follow-up thought, have you thought about the Sterling DC to DC charger?  https://www.sterling-power-usa.com/Sterl...arger.aspx
