In your scenario of charging the house batteries from the generator your BIM does not come into play. The converter (part of your power center) takes 120-volts AC from the genny, "converts" it to DC, and then there is a large wire that takes it from the converter forward to your battery area where it passes through a breaker to the house batteries.
The BIM is a "bridge" between your house and chassis batteries, If the BIM is malfunctioning you might see reduced or no charging of your CHASSIS batteries when plugged in or running generator; OR when driving you have reduced or no charging of your HOUSE batteries.
