can you charge the van battery with 120 connected

I am trying to sell a 1991 b190 , it hasn't been used since my mom( the original owner) passed 2 yrs ago- I want to know if either the coach battery or the engine battery will charge up if I plug into shore(house) electricity power? I posted on craigslist in phoenix az- Love your site I added the info to my craigs post

The house battery(s) should charge when you are connected to shore power. You can quickly tell by checking the battery level gauge that you should have somewhere on your rig.

Your engine battery is NOT charged when you are connected to shore power.

thanks for the info, so i turned on the water pump for a few seconds-(probably drain the batt) got water to the kit sink then went outside to look for water leaks- big puddle and water leaking from the city water inlet- should I drain the water tank to prevent more leak or see if it stops? thanks for the help.

Strange. Where is it coming from? Out from where water would normally run, or from behind the connection?

If it's out the inlet, the city water connection should have a check valve to prevent what you saw. My guess is that it's bad. I have no idea how you'd replace it.

If it's from behind the fixture, I found on mine that sometimes the connection would loosen up or the screws holding it in place would loosen. Just reach back in there and hand tighten the pipe connection, and use a screwdriver to make sure the screws are tight. Don't overdo either one or you'll have a very annoying repair on your hands.
