Not to leave you hanging but took the RV down to the local RV shop and they put a charge on all the batteries and they were all good. Took it out this past week-end for a local camp out and all seem to work well.

HAVE NO IDEA how I lost the charge from the batteries that time!

One question though, when I have the shore power plugged in, does that also charge the batteries?

Shore power should charge the house batteries. BUT may not charge the chassis; engine start ; battery.
Simple test when plugged in, with a volt meter, check for 13.8 to 14.2 v at the batteries. That voltage is an indication of charging.
If your not getting that voltage to you house battery you have a convertor / charger problem. If you don't get this voltage to the chassis battery, your coach may not be wired to charge that battery and you may have to wire in a battery tender to keep it charged.

Batteries

It's a little job but I would take all three batteries out and put them on a charger for a day. Then I would take them in to a battery shop or CW and have them checked out..Dont try to take them in without charging them first because the shop will have to charge them before they can check them..I found two of my batteries were no good,,one chassis and one house...thats my experience..good luck.
