Let's see.
You said: I replaced 1/2 of a 12 volt battery and now things are weird, it does nto work like a brand new one would".
no surprise.. Replace it's mate as well, never replace half your battery
You do not have 4 six volts IN (key word IN) the RV, You have two 12 volt batteries..
Now if you remove them they magically become four six volt (Since those are easier to wrangle and cheaper as well) but once installed each pair is one 12 volt battery.. You forgot that and replaced only 1/2 of the battery.
Replace the other half.
