US Battery is known to need 20+ cycles to reach full capacity.
Although voltage does sound low. As long as the electrolyte covers the plates you are fine.
Was the alternator charging the battery in transit?
Is the 12.4 holding well or still dropping while in use?

sounds like
something is wired wrong
dropped / lost a wire during the battery change out
you have 'house loads' running and NO charging from the battery isolator alternator circuit
blow fuse in charge circuit ?
dropped missing wire ?
what was on inside the RV, put fridge on LP not electric not auto
batteries should not have dropped that much, just running CO detector and fridge LP controls, unless you have a residential fridge powered by inverter ?

Assuming your VM is accurate, you did buy under-charged batteries, but that shouldn't be a big deal. Electrolyte sounds fine - as long as it's above the plates.
I'm a bit confused as to whether you've checked the voltage at the batteries when plugged in and charging. Next I'd be considering doing an equalization charge, or exchanging them, assuming your voltmeter is correct.
