Just Joined 2012 Era having generator problems

Unfortunately, my ERA has been sitting for a while. I am trying to get the generator to kick on. Propane level is at 3/4, battery is at 2/3. I primed by hitting the start button a couple of times. It will not turn over to run.

Basic thought is that no need to question the fuel if the generator is not turning over, so that puts it into an electrical question.
Step one is the RV engine starting as normal and was it running when you tried to crank the generator? Was something done to keep the start battery charged while not being used? A dead start battery will often not let the generator start either. Best to alway start the RV engine first as it can then provide power from it's alternator to help start the generator.

Thank you Richard. That was the problem.

Good deal. I'm kind of like the blind sow? Can find a nut once in a while even if blind!!
Point to keep in mind is that if the battery goes totally flat during storage and stays for too long it can be damaged, so best to notlet it happens too often and kind of watch that battery a bit more, so it doesn't catch you at the wrong time and place.
I keep a charger on the coach battery to save them but also added a small item called a "Trik-L-Start to let a tiny bit of power move from the coach batteries to keep the start one up. Kind of an automatic one way gizmo that seemed worth adding to avoid having to keep charge on two strings.
