My 97 Fleetwood Bounder with a Ford F53 chassis is having starting problems.
Try starting, dead.
Try starting with aux. start, dead.
Start generator, boom! Gen starts. Then I can start it.
I replaced the inverter about 3 years ago.
Most likely, your genset starts with the house batteries.
Your chassis battery is dead and your aux. start sw. isn't working, for whatever reason. Switch, solenoid....etc...etc...
Starting the genset, charges the chassis batteries for it then being able to start.
Only thing here, that's not adding up, is for why the thing even charges the chassis battery, if the crossover solenoid isn't working?
