Voltage problems

I seem to have a voltage problem and it is affecting many items in my Class A. I installed 4 new batteries and fuses recently. Here are the problems:
The panel lights are not lighting up.
The refrigerator is not staying on LP during transit.
The drop down windshield shades are not working at all.
The generator is not staying on and is giving up and down voltage readings. BTW, ALL these issues were present BEFORE i put in the new batteries. I tested the old batteries and they were shot.
Related to voltage? I need ideas.

i would start by cleaning 'ALL' battery and power cable connections
then pull . check , and re-seat all the main power DC fuses

check voltage at the house batteries, OFF, with drive engine running, and shore power, and finally generator

your converter might be bad
this will show up as good charge from alternator
weak bad charging from gennny and shore
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !
