A new alternator makes no sense. When the engine is running are you not seeing 13-14+ VDC at the battery? It seems like the engine is running which means the battery is still charged. You can't push more amps into a fully charged battery.
I assume you mean none of your DC lights and such are working while parked but you should have full 12VDC power at the engine battery and the house battery bank. You should have charger on the house batteries as well keeping them full charged.
I can't tell if the engine is keeping up power but the transmission is not doing it's job from your post. You said the engine would rev up but you weren't going anywhere. That would be the transmission.
