This is the inverter in my 2000 Dynasty, to give you an idea what your looking for.
It has heavy battery cables to the house battery, also heavy wires to the breaker panels.

could this be the inverter above the generator?
Also, I am missing the panel. It is 12 inches square. If I could get a picure, I think I could get my local machine shop to make a replacement.
Thanks for your help

Yep, looks like you found the inverter.
that "panel" you are missing is the cover for the water heater.
It is ventilated, you may find a used one, but I would make sure the heater works on propane & electric before you put in much of a search.

If your house/coach batteries are 12 volt batteries, I would replace each 12v with two 6 volt GC2 golf cart batteries connected in series to make 12 volts.
Golf cart batteries are designed for constant charge/discharge and will last much longer.
Just to be clear, this is for the house/coach not the engine start.

A charger says they are bad?
Usually best to charge, then load test.
I second Vito's suggestion of a pair of golf cart batteries to replace each 12 volt battery. This is what should have been there originally.
Just to get things going for testing, you could just use a 12v car battery temporarily as a house battery. It just wouldn't hold a load too long, but would be sufficient to check things out before investing a lot in batteries.

A search on Amazon for RV water heater cover should show what you need, get the model # off it to get right one.
