Some Newells of your era, and you will need to check yours, merged the batteries when the ignition was on. My 95 did that. Newell started adding the battery isolator later.
Simple check. Measure your house batt voltage. Crank the engine. If the house batt voltage goes up then they are already charging.
I did say some Newells. They came from the factory in different configurations, and who knows what wiring changes may have happened since.
