Are my batteries dead perhaps?
More than likely the house batteries were too low to start the generator. By starting the coach the engine's alternator charged the house batteries enough to start the generator.

You may want to determine what drained the house batteries or consider installing a disconnect switch at the battery terminal to remove any parasitic loads while in storage.
