2015 Coachman Lepracan coach battery?

On our last camping trip the coach twin 12 volt deep cycle batteries just died. I installed 2 new ones today but no power, lights or reading of the moniter guaves. I cranked the Motor, then the generator cranked, and all work just fine, I turned the ignition off, no problem, cut the generator off and lights all died, no voltage anywhere
Sounds like a breaker or fuse somewhere.
Any ideas???

    When you started the engine, the house was operating off the starting battery, once genset was running, the converter took over.

    Drems strange that when i cranked the coach up that the batteries came online, or seemd to, because the generator spun like they normally would with good batteries?

    Sounds like battery disconnect is not on. Cycle system to off then back on.
    Next would be a fuse adjacent to the coach batteries.

    That happened at work to a new kid just out of tradeschool. He left the plastic cap on the positive post of the battery when he attached the cable.

    Breakers are the first to check. Then fuses and then clean, strong battery connections.
