X2 on the previous post by PNichols.
You can just start the engine and check the voltage on engine and house battery with a multimeter. A loss of even several tenths of a volt diminishes the charging effectiveness. I found voltage losses in a connector, and a solder joint on our C. And changing the wiring so alternator current goes directly to the house battery rather than roundabout through the battery disconnect switch at the door. Fixing those made quite a difference.

Solenoid for the truck side to the House batteries failed 5 or 6 years ago.
I replaced with an upgraded Solenoid Trombetta "The Bear" contactor.
This was slightly larger (Dimensional) than the one Winnebago installed. It fit with room to spare.
Much higher quality than the Original I replaced.
