Check your cable for reverse, or a small one left off. It can happen. Battery has already been stated. Does the gen work. Master power switch if you have one.

With meter check from pos post on battery to a chassis ground any place you have metal.

Yes this one is sat in a dealers who im negotiating the price as is and they haven’t figured it out, like you say check the generator if it gets power from the batteries then shore power

Could it be the ECM or haven’t we got there yet if it’s dead

Have you yourself actually measured the voltage at the battery terminals?

Sitting on a dealers lot they may have run down.

If it's sat long enough on a dealer's lot the batteries can go FLAT (no charge won't take one either) But I'd be a bit... Watchful of the batteries till you are sure they are charging.. Also might want to look up the converter or other charger device (inverter/charger) and let us know the make and model. Some are good.. Some fantastic. Some.. Well Some I'd recommend an upgrade now.

Home was where I park it. but alas the.
