So, I have 12 volt if
1. Connected to shore power and shore power switch on.
2. Disconnect shore power and switch to use, try to start Genset and 12v dies.
3. I can start chassis engine and restore 12v after 30 secs. And then start genset.
4. If I kill genset, 12v dies.

Just to be clear, when you say "hot" do you mean energized, as in electrically, or warm, as in thermally?
Much of what you describe indicates you might have dead batteries. The batteries may not necessarily be bad, but rather discharged. Check the water, and if OK, try to charge batteries for hours before running your tests again.
I don't have one of these RVs, but if you have been leaving the switch in STORE mode, and the house batteries don't charge up, they can go to zero charge after a few weeks or less. If so, they won't have the power to start a generator or power much else.
