I usually do something in the RV on at least a weekly basis. It’s on our property, plugged in and I am in it quite a bit. Once a month or so, I run the generator and fire up the engine, allow everything to warm up just to avoid surprises.
A few weeks ago I went out to do this and the chassis battery was dead. Completely dead. Battery Boost did nothing. After a trickle charge, it seems to be okay with 13.4 vac and I have started the RV multiple times.
I thought that the converter would also charge the chassis battery. Either I am wrong about that or have a fuse/wire problem. Since the Battery Boost did nothing, does this confirm that maybe the converter/house battery is not reaching the chassis battery? I also read somewhere that Battery Boost can’t help a completely dead battery.

It is possible that something was left on after my Sister-in-Law was staying in the RV for a week or so. I have no idea what buttons she played with out there…
