And yes, I know I should be able to use the coach batteries but those need to be replaced this season so they are not much help at the moment.

If you're unable to plug the coach into shore power to allow the on board system to charge the batteries. Then hook the jumper cables to another vehicle ; with the heaviest set of jumper cables you can find ; and run that vehicle on high idle for 10 mins. before you try to start the coach .
Or remove the chassis batteries , for charging and testing.
