After stroring the coach a 95 Vectra 34' for 3 months the batteries where dead. In an attempt to charge the batteries jump started the generator. After that there is no power to the generator.

Please clarify about "no power to the generator".

-- You now have no 12V from the house batteries to the generator?
-- You now have no 120V output from the generator? If so do you have a auto transfer switch or do you have to plug the shore power cord into the generator power outlet in the elect compartment?
-- Did you jump start the generator at the generator or did you jump at the house batteries?

You cannot start a generator with dead batteries. I'm not sure which set of batteries start the generator on your older model. On many if not most it's the engine start (chassis) battery that also starts the generator. But there are others out there that use the house batteries to start the generator.

So, no matter how you look at it - you're going to have to deal with the dead batteries BEFORE you can start the generator.

There is no 12 volt to the Generator, I will check the state of the house batteries, I am assuming after two days on 60 amp shore power and driving it 200 miles the house batteries should be charged. I am looking for a fuse or circuit breaker we could have blown when jumping the generator.
