I got some data on the voltage. Thanks for the detailed instructions, I'll try that next. For now here is the info I have
Each house battery is running about 2.15v together they are at 4.3v
The generator is getting 3.8v from the batteries, 13v when rv is plugged in.
I'll go through all the connections and make sure they are good, then give the results again.
If you really want to be sure on the house batteries, disconnect them and charge them individually with a 6v charger and assuming they will charge up to specs. Then see if they'll hold overnight and if so, connect them back up again and observe the voltage drop while cranking the genset over. This should tell the story, but most likely with what you've said so far and assuming that all connections are clean and tight, a battery replacement is in order.
