When I drive down the road, generator is off.
Do I need to turn “aux batt” on so that tv, frig, microwave, lights etc work?
What should be on in coach while driving down the road with “aux batt” switch on?
What should be on in coach while driving if “ aux batt” switch off?
Thank you,

Right now when I start up engine, nothing in coach turns on. When I turn on “ aux batt” switch , lights / tv on, BUT NOT frig or microwave. Is this normal?
 
Did you get any documentation when you purchased this RV? Unless somebody with your precise style of RV chimes in here, it will be difficult to answer your question with certainty.

A fridge and / or a microwave could be too large to be supported by your batteries plus inverter. Without the RV generator, your engine's alternator is the only source of electrical power and its just not going to carry the entire load. Otherwise, there would be no need for your large vehicle generator.

Find the vehicle's documentation or order it from the manufacturer. Lotsa' good information in it.
