My brother just picked up 2003 Sunseeker on E450 Chassis, we're fairly new to RVing. The house battery dies then turns off the generator. I assuming that's by design. The question is why isn't the ...

Consider your power sources - if the generator is running, do you have 115v at your receptacles? If not then the circuit is open. Check your transfer switch. That transfer switch may be a actual ATS module, or it may be a "manual" switch. If it's manual, the shore power plug needs to be plugged into the 30A receptacle in the compartment where the shore power cord is stored.
Our '16 2250 had the receptacle. I replaced it with an Progressive Dynamics ATS so I didn't have to play that game.
Another thing to check - if the engine is running and the generator is not (or not connected, as above), then you should have similar voltage at the house batteries as you do your chassis battery. If you do not, chances are you've run into the same issue I had - the wiring to the BIC (Battery Isolation Circuit) (see my post: House batteries not charging from chassis (SOLVED)) is not properly connected to an active (when key is on or engine is running) chassis power lead.
