Yea, 9 volts is pretty darn low. I know these questions may seem elementary, but some times we need a reminder. Are you sure you batteries are all in good condition? hygrometer tested, and all close to each other? All tie bars are clean and not corroded inside? Have you done a current draw on your inverter? It could be malfunctioning. What are the power requirements of your appliances?
house Batteries (4, six volt deep cycle) are 2 years old, all connections were cleaned, prior to this trip, each battery will hold a full charge for a week, when coach is in storage, and battery pack is disconnected.
I really do not believe this is a battery problem because the battery pack is acting normal. It is charging when on external power, and discharging when loaded.
9 volts is where the inverter disconnects and shuts down. as soon as we start the gen/set they start charging again.
The only problem with the system is the Bi-Directional Isolator will not connect the engine driven alternator to the house batteries. (close the isolation relay) which has been tested and works when voltage is applied.
