Yes I would plug into the outlet to let the genset provide the AC power to test. What is the voltage on the house battery with the rig disconnected from shore power? The Onan spec says it needs a 350 CCA battery, and the 12v converter puts out less than 100, so if the battery is dead the converter probably cannot start the genset even though it was connected to shore power, especially if a dead battery was sucking up its output.
How are the connections to the house battery and the wires into them?
It's what Mex said - the battery is not giving power to the genset for some reason.
