should be fine. Just your truck charging your batteries after the grid heater is kicking off, and from cranking the truck...

I would call that normal too. You should be able to see the headlights dimming (if on) when the heater cycles also.

I would verify what you're actually seeing with a VOM (volt meter). 15v charging after starting is ok for a short period of time.

Once the batteries are fully charged the voltage should settle down to around 12.7-13v depending on the load.
My truck voltmeter is above 14v also after starting the truck and takes a while for it to drop back down.
