Drove around a bit, and was able to get the generator started. Hoping the house batteries will now charge up. Not sure I have the expertise to do too much more.

Might have to run the refrigerator on propane, too, but I think I can get by, and then have the RT dealer check it out after I return, although any additional input here is welcomed.
