First question, when the bus is running, does the alternator charge the house batteries? And if so, does it use the charger or straight from the alternator?

Ok, so now to my problem(?). I think I'm having issues with my house batteries and/or charger. I noticed the battery level was down, and was concerned that they are not getting charged. I have a Iota DLS-27-40 charger, as well as a PE-3000WC-24-110 I use for an inverter going down the road. The Iota get's hot to the touch,(130 degrees +/-) but the fan doesn't run, but I don't know if it's hot enough or if the fan isn't working, or if this is even the issue. I haven't seen the fan in the PE run, but the documentation says it runs when needed.

I know I'm rambling, I'm just trying to get my thoughts out. My bus only has 3 leds for battery level, not very informative. I'm looking at getting some kind of monitoring panel, and I've seen online the Xantrex Truecharge Remote Monitor Panel 40+, would this be a good/compatable thing to get?

Have to get back to work.
