House Batteries Depleted. How to Fix??

I have a 2006 35 foot Allegro Bay currently parked in my driveway and I stoopidly left a light on overnight without shore power and the lights are not working now. I am guessing my house batteries are depleted.

I am a recent widow, hoping to keep up the rving lifestyle by myself, but I don't know the first thing about batteries. (Except how to kill them, apparently!)

The MH has only been in my driveway for a little over a week, following a trip from FL to NJ (which I drove!) and I need to get it out of the driveway in the next week or so.

Is this something I can "fix" by hooking up to shore power at my home (which will be only 30 amp)or by running my generator for a time or do I need to get a RV mobile mechanic to come do something?

If you ask me what type of batteries I have, please also let me know where to look to find out. I can drive the MH and do the hook ups but batteries are way above my (pre-widow) paygrade. :(

Sorry to sound so clueless but I am, indeed, clueless but trying to learn and keep on RVing.

Thanks for your responses,
Kim
