Batteries are fully charged, terminals are clean, all fuses on converter are good but I have no power in coach. I get no display when checking any levels battery, lpg, water , nothing.

Does "coach batteries" = "house batteries"? I'm surprised that your generator doesn't start from the chassis (engine start) batteries, but I'm not familiar with your 94 Adventurer's power system.
Lack of any indication at all suggests either an open fuse or circuit breaker, or a bad chassis ground on the battery negative terminal.

It sounds like your coach battery disconnect is off. You should have a switch in the stairwell and one on the dash.

I had the same problem from a blown fuse in the DC fuse panel. It was a 15 amp one. Replaced it and everything worked normal after that.

Ok I don't know how to go back to my previous post. So no power from house batteries. I plug into my house everything works. I unplug and nothing works. I've looked for switch by door and found nothing. I checked fuses and breakers at converter and everything appears ok. Nothing from generator not even a click. Cleaned all battery terminals.. It is a 1994 winnebago adventurer. Please I need some help.

If it works when plugged to shore power but otherwise not, you are not getting any power from the house batteries. Could be the batteries themselves, or the wiring to the batteries, or possibly a fuse or circuit breaker in the path to the batteries.
Start at the batteries with a VOM and check for voltage (should be 12+), then work on towards the converter and 12v power distribution panel.

Should be a Battery Disconnect Switch some where, generally by the door but I have seen them in the Dash area. An open solenoid winding on the Battery Disconnect relay will give the symptoms you describe.
Possibly someone with a similar model can tell you where to find the BD Switch.

That display is simply showing that your converter is working. That is NOT the battery voltage. Your batteries are eithe DEAD, Disconnected or you have a blown fuse or tripped CB between the batteries and the distribution panel. I'm guessing the disconnect is bad since you can't even get voltage to the generator starter.
