On a boat, you select a single battery when at anchor. That saves the other battery to start the boat when you run down the first one! Once you are running again, you can temporarily switch to BOTH and then to the one that you ran down while at anchor, etc. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER switch to off while the engines are running/charging. You blow your alternators!
The West Marine catalog has lots of advice for wiring that also apply to RVs.
I'm sure that Matt Colie will confirm this.
