I would hope they were connected to the house batteries Judy..

Easy way to find out put something into one and then disconnect your house battery terminal, if it stops working then you have your answer..

 Thanks...Good idea but the battery is under the passenger seat with no room to move, so will have to investigate if I can get to them easy enough.....

 Ummmmmm you really do need to have a way of quickly disconnecting the battery in an emergence, maybe you could get your auto electrician to install an isolation switch..

Judy, if you have one in the dash somewhere that would be attached to the drive battery.
Any in the living quarters should be attached to the house battery.
Go to an autoelectrician and get it all checked out, just for peace of mind. They will also replace any dodgy wiring while going over it for you, as I did in Hervey Bay.

 Thanks I will be doing that. The charger and inverter is under the drivers seat, will have to see how easy that is to get to...
