Hello, I am new to the world of RV-living and have encountered a problem I am hoping you will be able to help me with.
Basically I am parked with the AC line plugged in and everything seems to work fine but after a few hours I get a beeping noise which seems to be an indicator of a low battery. I run the engine and then the generator for 15mins each and it's good to go for another 5-6 hours.
I don't use much electricity and the only thing constantly drawing power is the refrigerator. I was under the impression that while hooked up to AC everything should be able to run off that and the storage batteries should be charged by it.
I actually changed the storage batteries twice already due to another beep which was the gas detector I believe so the batteries are brand new (this is what the RV mechanics said would solve my current issues but sadly it did not). I can't afford to take it back to them for now so I am turning to you. I hope you can help me solve this problem and I thank you all in advance.

This sounds like you are not connecting to the AC power from the supplier.
Did the breaker on the post trip?
Did your transfer Switch fail to transfer power?
Inside your coach seems to work OK or the gen-set wouldn't charge the batteries, to give you 5-6 hours of use.
I'd try this, disconnect from the AC provider (post) re-set the breaker on the post, and reconnect the coach. and listen for the transfer switch to CLICK. If that doesn't correct the issue you may have a bad transfer switch.
