Plugging the TC into your home's 120v should keep the battery charge. If that's not working you need to figure that out too while you're working on the camper. Having it plugged in for a few hours should charge the battery enough to start the gen.

Hmm.. I wonder if there's an underlying issue other than the batteries just being completely dead? A friend of mine told me that once an AGM battery is dead, there is no reviving it. The one I have won't even hold a minimal charge. The only time I have power is when I'm connected to 120V. As soon as I disconnect, I have no power at all, I can't even turn on an LED light.
