Battery/ generator/ converter issue

It’s a 1990 bounder Ford fuel injected 40z oshkosh chassis.
Not sure what the dash indicator is for. It’s part of the water tank and LP tank dash indicators do always assumed house batts. There’s another indicator on the dash separate from those that flashes green and then yellow for the starter batt as I’m starting my rig.
This morning starter batt is dead and auxiliary switch over not working. Mechanic stole voltmeter.

What chassis?
Not sure what indicator on dash. Is this the one for the alternator? There should be a charge relay that energizes to charge house batteries.
A volt meter will or should show if alternator is putting out.
Voltmeter should show if converter is working by checking voltage at the converter or the 12 volt DC distribution panel.
