Generator jump start

I have an Aria...both house and chassis batteries dead. Is there a way to jump start the generator?

Not that I know of. When this happened to me I jumped the chassis battery.

you could either jump the Chassis batteries, and then try to start the Gen while attached

or

jumper the House battery bank, and use the AUX/EmergencyStart Switch AND try to start the Gen at the same time, while attached

or

add a battery charger to the house battery bank, if shore power is available

This worked for me one time on my last coach.
