Was the use/store switch in 'use' position? Otherwise won't charge the coach batteries..

If the switch was left in 'use', it certainly would have drained the batteries.

[*]I cannot get the generator to start - does the generator start off the house batteries?

Typically yes... The jump switch Jamie mentioned can help if those are low.. But may not if really dead.

[*]all the lights were flashing on the leveler panel - I'm guessing this is a function of the dead house batteries?

I'd expect the leveled to be on chassis batteries.

[*]I put a volt meter on the batteries, with the engine running, voltage read ~ .8 volts - is this the alternator charging the batteries?

8 volt is dead. 0.8 is very dead..

How does one go about re-charging the house batteries? Via the generator? How can I get the generator to start?

I would would disconnect the coach batteries from the coach and each other and use an automotive charger to see if they will take a charge...
If they are that low and froze - they may not recharge.
With coach batteries disconnected, the jump switch may start the generator if needed.
