I may be missing something but here goes….
If you are limited to 120V then your options are limited. There is not a way that I know of to plug in a coach to a regular 120V outlet.
But if you want to keep a charge in your house batteries…you could run the generator (which will use the charger on the inverter to charge your house batteries). After they are charged, you can disconnect the house batteries by turning the two switches in your battery bay. That way the batteries will not have any draw. Every week or so, turn on the switches and run the generator.
The emergency switch on the dash will indeed connect the engine bats to the house bats, but there is no way a 120V charger will be able to do much with the huge house batteries. In other words, I would not even think about merging the batteries in this situation.
Other gurus, please feel free to correct my thinking.
