Ok update!
My brother connected the larger wire of the 2 white wires has been connected to the pos side of the house batt and the smaller striped (blue) is connected to the neg of the other house batt. There has been no changes in the chassis batt and with a little jump we got her started. So could these be the trickle charge wires? as we’ve also discovered that the white cables do not go to the generator.
Thank you

More apt to be power to the battery disconnect switch.
You didn't say which chassis rig is on.
Is there a battery control panel under the hood on driver's side?
If you were closer I would come by.

Hi enblethen,
oh I’m sorry I thought I had. I have a Chevy Chassis. I heard the noises for the disconnect before we attached them again. At this point I think its finally figured out with the last update. I am not hearing any boiling over, the volts are on the right numbers. I am so hoping we’ve fixed the problem.
Thank you

Chev chassis have a battery wire going straight to the starter. It should come off the chassis battery.
In the battery control center is where the battery disconnect relays are. One is for the power to the ignition and fuses under the dash.
One thing to check, make sure there is no resistance between the grounds on the chassis and battery system. I installed a ground (#4) between the two grounds.
I would suggest marking the cables with marking tape. Grounds should be Black and the positives red. I do not know why RV companies do not mark correctly.
Does your genset start and stop?
