I stand to be corrected, but an avid RV'er told me that there were some new
generation of "smart" <well, maybe not so dumb> dual battery chargers that
can "look" at both batteries and will ensure that the one hooked up to
"primary" is brought to full charge before the "aux".  I was merely relating
what I had been told and maybe was relaying the information as "Gospel"
therefore ... my apologies.  As I indicated in my original post, I still
have some researching to do.
