Year, make and model of your RV would help a bit.
Not all RV's charge the house batteries.

Be sure the disconnect switch by the steps is On.

I'm not sure about the View/Navion but the Class A units have a "battery mode solenoid" that operates when the engine is running or when the battery boost switch is operated which bridges the house and chassis battery banks together for charging from the engine. This Trombetta solenoid is notorious for failure, I replaced three or four of them before I upgraded to a Blue Sea marine combiner.
You might have something completely different on your chassis though.

Don't know which View model you have, but it shouldn't matter for this. You can see your Battery Mode Solenoid on page 3 of the Chassis Electrical Box Assembly diagram (this one for the 34M)
