It is probably using either the house or the chassis battery to start.

Turn of each battery disconnect individually to tell which one is being used to start generator.

If it is like our 2008, the house batteries are used to start the generator.

Those are the batteries on the upper slide out tray in the battery compartment. Again, if it is like our 2008.

Your coach has a built-in charger that charges batteries whenever the coach is plugged into shore power OR the generator is running. The house batterers also get charged by the engine alternator as you drive. All automatic - you don't have to do a thing to make this happen.

Unless they’re bad and need to be replaced. Then perhaps, that’s the reason why the automatic thing is not working to charge them up.
