Yes, you can still charge your batteries with shore power or your generator as well as with the vehicle's alternator while driving with the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1225D. The two charging systems are wired independently of one another so there will be no effect.

I have attached an installation video for you on this system which just so happens to be on a trailer with an AC power grid as well.
