I'd suggest, as a first step, to buy an inexpensive hand-held meter. You will need that to make sure your 12V system, including the converter, is working correctly.
With no charge in either battery after being plugged in and then traveling, you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker in the charging circuit.
Since you are always plugged in when camping and assuming you disconnect the batteries from any parasitic loads when stored (or operate a battery maintainer on the batteries), I'd suggest to buy two batteries similar to these: Everstart 27DC deep cycle
You stated that you don't want 6V batteries but the GC2 6V battery sold at Sam's Club or Costco is a better solution, IMO.
