I just noticed, yea I've had the coach for about a year now, that the onan battery is in parallel with the house battery with a nice long battery cable.

I've always thought you weren't supposed to run batteries in parallel like that. except with a combiner.

So I have;
two batteries up front, 1 engine battery, 1 house battery.
Both of these are charged via the combiner.

1 battery back by the onan, in parallel with the house battery.

Is this a good way to run?
Is there a better way?

Thanks!
