Ok…….crank your generator and let it run, merge the batteries, and wait for at least 2 hours for batteries to charge.
Do you know if the batteries were merged while at the shop, or more importantly as you are trying to jump start? If they are merged while trying to jump start, the dead house batteries will absolutely drain all the current you need for starting. Turn off the merge if trying to jump start.
With the engine running, put the coach into level mode. See if you can raise the rear end.
If you can, you have a height control valve issue, which you should be able to fix on the spot without a tow.
If you can’t raise while in level, you have a leaking air bag. Have the road service jack the coach up far enough so the tires don’t touch the body, and insert some wood blocks into the suspension to keep the coach up off the tires. Drive it to the shop.
