Hi Jerry and Noel and Betty Johnson and Everyone!
Thanks for jumping in! You know the battery was replaced just two months ago (brand new) reading from the owners manual, I see the chassis battery should have been switched to "off" while sitting for more than 48 hours. It sat for the two months.
It was plugged into a 50-amp outlet while it sat. I guess I'm worried because the electrical system is so very complicated. I am still getting my head around when to switch to house batteries, or perhaps I should have tried to battery boost from the house batteries, etc. instead of a jump.
In my automobile experience, I've never created a problem when jumping the battery (usually only solved a problem--ha ha).
The new battery was quite $$$ and I'd hate to troubleshoot by buying a new one. The RV starts fine now. I'm hoping I didn't screw things up by a simple jump.
