Going to answer my own question here -- after about 2 hours with my coach this morning:

Chassis (engine) batteries:
- Charge from alternator -- yes
- Charge from shore power thru the 12V converter IF you have a Trik-l-Start installed -- yes, otherwise, nope.

House 12v batteries:
- Charge from alternator -- yes
- Charge from shore power thru 12V converter -- yes
- Charge from generator (and its 120V output) thru 12V converter -- yes

Inverter 6v batteries (used for powering 120v appliances thru inverter):
- Charge from alternator -- yes
- Charge from shore power thru Xantrex Inverter/Charger - yes
- Charge from generator thru Xantrex Inverter/Charger - yes
