Generac Generator
Installed a new starter in my generator and started up right away the first 2 tries then started to drag and click . I checked with a generator repair shop and was told to check my voltage at the bat...

sounds like (house) batteries are low to me....especially when you consider you were able to start the generator w/ the coach running (most coach engine/alternators charge the house batteries when the coach is engine running)
Id put a voltmeter on the (house) batteries w/ everything turned off & see what the charge level is, my bet is you're gonna show low voltage.
couple of choice if the (house) batteries are low (v) - run the generator (to charge the batteries), connect to shore power so the converter/charger can charge the batteries or drive/run the coach so the engine alternator can charge the (house) batteries.
if the coach has been connected to shore power then i don't know why the battery voltage would be low - unless you've been cranking not he generator starter a bunch or your converter charger is not charging the (house) batteries.
