I had the opposite problem once on my '00 Journey when I was boondocking, and ran the house batteries down while camping in the Adirondacks (furnace operating). The coach batteries were so run down (about 9v) that I could not start the generator to recharge them. So I tried the Aux battery switch, but I was still not able to start the generator. The chassis batteries were OK (at 12+V) and I was able to start the coach with no problem, but still could not start the generator (even with the coach engine running).
My solution was to purchase a set of good jumper cables, and jump the coach batteries from the chassis batteries. I am pretty certain that the solenoid for the Aux battery switch was not operating properly.
Got the generator running and charged the coach batteries back up.
