General Winnebago mechanical questions

Hi guys, new to the forum here. I purchased a 37ft 1997 Winnebago with a Ford 460 power plant recently and have been restoring it. Was curious if you guys wouldn't mind laying some knowledge on me, I have a few general questions. The generator is a gas oanan 6500. I got it running yesterday and let it run for about 45 min. Is the generator supposed to charge the house batterys? Just installed two new 6 volt batterys and they are drained down to about 10 volts now.

With the generator running the A/C came on, but it does not blow cold, do these units use freon?

I noticed after I park some gear oil leaks onto the inside of the right rear tire, I'm guessing is a bad axle seal. Anyone know what type of gear oil this rear takes? 80/90?

The check engine light is on, but I can't for the life of me find the OBDII port, anyone know its location?

Thank you, Wes

OBD-2 port should be center lower dash area
Generator will run converter which will charge batterys
Best check the system and see what voltage is at the battery when
gen set running.run engine and see also as alternator should also
charge house batterys
80/90 or 75/140 GL5 but best fix the seal!!
Roof AC usually non serviceable Freon wise and replace entire unit
if that's what the problem is
