Hi so bad invertor could stop the engine from starting ?
The inverter will not directly stop the engine from starting, however on most class A coaches the inverter is a combination inverter & battery charger. So, if the charger is not charging you may end up with dead batteries. On some coaches the inverter doesn't charge the engine batteries, they might only be charged by the alternator, and the alternator may not charge the house batteries. It all depends on how the coach was designed and if the system is still operating properly. Fortunately, those design limitations can easily be overcome. Virtually any coach that sits unconnected to shore or solar power will develop dead batteries, sometimes in just a few days.
You said they pulled the coach inside. So, did they jumper cable it to get it started?
Have they tried to repair the electrical problem?
With good batteries installed do the systems seem to work?
Things could seem ok with good batteries only to go down again if they are not being charged.
