Genset (2016 Tiffin RED PA37) won't start.

Just picked up a new to us Tiffin yesterday. Check out went well. Genset fired up with ease. Drove 7 hours today. Pull into WM. Go to start genset and nothing but light rapid clicks like the battery is dead. Does anyone know if it's a dead battery? I'm assuming it has a separate battery. But not sure.

Coach only has 4K miles and is 7 months old.

Have half a tank of gas.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks Keith.

Sounds more like a loose batt cable

Most commonly (but not universally) the generator starts from the house battery. Occasionally it's set up to start from the chassis battery. In either case, if the battery is too low you usually can start it by first starting the main engine so the alternator supplies some of the starting power.

It is a very rare setup for an RV generator to have a dedicated starting battery.
