If the chassis batteries stayed the same voltage, they are not charging.

I added an Amp-L-Start. This device steals a little juice from the house battery circuit and uses that to charge the chassis batteries. I installed mine at the boost solenoid in the rear breaker compartment. Works Great! About $75 and less than an hour.
You could have either added a switched 12 volt source to activate the booster solenoid, used the switch on the dash if it's not momentary, or even ran a small jumper set across the two battery circuits on the booster solenoid. Not sure why you would spend $75 on a gadget to do the same thing. Just for the lights to tell you if your batteries are malfunctioning? I must be missing something.
