Over charged battery

Have you guys had any problem with the charger in your travel trailers over charging the batteries? I left the rig plugged in for a week and went out lastnight to get somthing out and the inverter/charger fan was running, indicating to me that it was hard at work. I went out and checked the batteries, and one of then was VERY warm and the other was not. I didn't have time to check the water level (probably low now) but it was OK a week ago. I thought that the charger would back down and not boil the batteries dry.
