You can keep your batteries up off of a 15A house circuit using a heavy duty extension cord if you turn most of the items in the MH...refer, ACs. You do not need 30A.

Turn off the disconnect switch CCW on the side of the bay with the house batteries. Does the generator try to start? If not, turn it back on and try again. Which batteries start the generator?
If the generator starts, even while holding the Boost Switch, then I would not worry about cleaning the contacts on the cables going to the back of the generator.
Let us know what you learn once the batteries are charged and before changing them.
