This is inherent behavior of the type of power converter that Fleetwood used. While it is a WFCO converter and that is generally a decent albeit basic level 3-stage charger and converter, the model(s) used are not that robust for stable power.
Have you, by any chance, installed LED lighting?
With as little information as I have, I would actually look more to the converter for troubleshooting. Your CO detector is certainly due for replacement due to age. Thankfully, my 2006 Fleetwood has a 9-volt battery operated model that I replaced in kind.
And only from your narrative, it sounds like maybe the converter is not charging the battery. How often do you plug the PUP into shore power before a camping trip? Depending on where you got the battery, they may be able to test it to ensure that the battery itself is not also faulty.
You have a number of issues here that may or may not be related. I would start with replacing the CO detector as that needs to be done regardless. Then look at the battery to rule out a faulty battery.
The pulsing of the lights even when on shore power will be a function of your converter as they are 12v DC lights. If they are incandescent, then the fault is truly at the converter level. If the lights are LED, there are some compatibility issues involved. Ask RoyB about regulated LEDs, the converter and pulsing light in his PUP.
