I keyed in on your 100 amp breaker and connection statements, and I found 2 connections loose, both on the breaker. My measurements during my exam of the coach batts lead me to find the loose connections. I'm charging the coach batts via shore power over night. But Voltages on the Batts read 12.13, so I'm not sure I'm doing any good waiting.
Now, with that said, I pray the voltages were just too low and the BIM couldn't manage the charge to the Coach batts until the connections have been tightened.
I also found a 50 amp breaker next to my Coach 100 amp breaker. Unsure how to test this 50 amp breaker, as I see it only has a yellow flag, but no means of testing it. I put my meter on it and couldn't get any reading on it. Anyone know what this breaker does? I ran out of day light, so tomorrow is my opportunity to determine what it does. See attachment

The BIM has no impact on charging your coach batteries using shore power or the generator. When on shore power the BIM only affects the charging of the chassis battery. If you are plugged in and the coach batteries read less than 13.1v then the converter/charger is not charging the batteries.
1. Is your Use/store in the use mode.
2. Is the breaker in the back of your coach battery box closed.
3. Is there power from shore power thru the transfer switch to to converter/charger.
