I let time get away from me after the holidays, other than that, no excuses. I went to start the generator today and nothing. No priming light, no hours showing on display,,,nothing on the inside control board. It has been sitting for a while but plugged into shore power. [We already knew the engine batteries were weak as the steps had problems coming down and retracting.] After numerous attempts and workarounds, we tried starting on the gennie while also plugged into shore power. The priming light came on but when I tried to start it, the gennie made a sound similar to a starter when the battery is dead. [We did check oil level and it's full]. Can anyone suggest anything before we drag the rig to the local RV repair shop?

Replace the battery with new one.

Charge the battery and try again before taking it in.

I believe you'll find that your steps are fused off the coach batteries not the chassis (engine) battery. Sounds like a weak coach battery bank.
